Title: The Krag in Michigan
Post by butlersrangers on Oct 20th, 2011 at 4:27pm
The attached photo is from my family collection and shows (Upper Penisula) Michigan State Troops in training near Manistee, Michigan, around 1900-1903.  The bulk of the men have Model 1899 Remington-Lee Rifles in .30-40 Govt.  The NCO at the left has a Krag.  The soldier addressing the group has a Krag bayonette on his Mill's belt.  The soldier at the right, feet spread and looking down the line, has a Krag.  Following the Spanish-American War, the State of Michigan purchased Remington-Lee's.  These were eventually replaced with Krags.  Chuck McArthur
