#1 The American battleship Oregon was sent to the Strait of Magellan in April 1898, and as it thundered toward the fabled strait, the air hung thick with rumors of war with Spain.

#2 The Leahy brothers, Michael and John, were both in the 35th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. They were both proud of their service, and for the rest of their lives, they regularly attended meetings of veterans’ groups and marched in Fourth of July parades.

#3 The town of Annapolis, Maryland, was the capital of the colony of Maryland and was renamed Annapolis in 1694. It prospered as a trading center until overtaken by growing Baltimore, but it remained a political and cultural center.

#4 The United States Naval Academy was established in 1845. It was not very grand, but it would become the place where the country’s top naval officers were educated.
