| “Coldspring, Ky., Oct. 4. - A ten-mile march through Coldspring is made daily by the soldiers of Ft. Thomas. Thursday the hospital corps marched to Coldspring and took position in the play ground of the Coldspring seminary, from which they signaled with a heliograph [Wikipedia] to the large water tower in Ft. Thomas. Signals could be readily read at Ft. Thomas, and by men at Coldspring also. The flashes could be seen for many miles. Corporal Dale, who was in charge of the corps at Coldspring, delivered an interesting talk to the pupils of the Coldspring seminary upon the life of a soldier and the hardships and battles engaged in during the Spanish-American war.”from the Maysville Daily Public Ledger, October 4, 1901 | ||
