The Wyoming National Guard departed Wyoming for service on the Mexican border, according to some sources. That this was to occur was reported several days ago in the local press, and there had been heightened action in Mexico over the past week showing that Villa was still very much an active player in Mexico.
Some of those Guardsmen. Members of Company C, raised from Park County Wyoming, 1916.
Because this was a significant event in the context of what we're looking at here, as well as in the history of the state, we're going to be looking at a few newspapers again from this and the following days to see how they treated the story.
And in doing that we are going to question whether this date is actually the correct one. It's cited by some, but the period newspapers suggest it might have been the first day of a lot of waiting around expecting to entrain, in true military fashion.
