Lieutenant Lewis Reenlisting Thomas Dixon, Spanish-American War, 19 June 1898, (1899)
Lieutenant Lewis Reenlisting Thomas Dixon, Spanish-American War, 19 June 1898, (1899). American soldiers on board ship, bound for Cuba: I saw Lieutenant Lewis reading from a paper, his right hand lifted above his head, while before him was a sturdy-looking old soldier who also stood with hand
uplifted. Upon inquiry, I learned the cause of the scene, and asked them to hold their positions while I " snapped" them. Thomas Dixon had been in the regular army for twenty-one years, his time for retiring, or reenlisting, arrived that day, and he was taking his oath of allegiance to the Army of the United States for another term of three years. I recall having seen him several times at Daiquiri and Siboney, but I shall never see him again: he survived the fight before El Caney on July 1st and before San Juan on July 2nd, but in that scrimmage of the 10th, he was mortally wounded by a piece of flying shrapnel. From " The Little I saw of Cuba" by Burr McIntosh, with photographs by the author. (In 1898, American actor and journalist William Burr McIntosh went to Cuba to cover the Spanish-American War for " Leslies Weekly" as a reporter and photographer). [F. Tennyson Neely, London & New York, 1899]
