Biographical/Historical Note
The United Spanish War Veterans, established in 1904, united several independent Spanish-American War organizations. Military and non-military personnel who served in the Spanish-American War were eligible to become members of the organization. The national level had its headquarters in Washington, D.C.; the state level was called a department; the local level was called a camp. Each year the USWV held annual reunions. By the 1950s, the USWV still had over 3,000 members in 600 local chapters throughout the U. S.
