Rosemary Ermis >> Hello Rosemary, I did check the one book that I have on the Spanish/American War & didn't find them listed. The best thing to do is to try & get to a library where they have these wars on microfilm or you might have to hire someone to do that research for you. I have no knowledge of anyone that is an expert on this subject in our area, not saying that there isn't anyone. I have not heard of them & am sure that I would as I have been doing research starting on my 22nd year. Best of luck to you in your research. Sincerely, Bertha Ellen Beall Texas City
