This book contains the official records and a brief history of the 2nd Oregon Volunteer Infantry Regiment that served in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War. Also included are abstracts of muster rolls, a brief history of the general United States military operations in the Philippines, and reports of general officers with appended reports of Oregon Volunteer officers. The members of the 2nd Oregon were the first of the Oregon National Guard to serve overseas, and they were also the first unit of the U.S. Army to land in the Philippines. The 2nd Oregon was named so because the 1st Oregon Regiment had already been organized in 1864 for the express purpose of protecting overland trade routes and pioneer wagon trains. The 2nd Oregon was organized on May 8, 1898 following the destruction of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor on February 15, 1898. Oregon was considered to have one of the better trained and equipped guards at the time, so President William McKinley requested that Oregon recruit an infantry from the National Guard. The 2nd Oregon took part in the surrender of Guam and the surrender of the Spanish Army in Manila. The last company of the 2nd Oregon was mustered out in August 1899.

Geer, Governor slip pasted to fep. Theodore Thurston Geer (March 12, 1851 - February 21, 1924) was the tenth Governor of Oregon (the first born in the territory of the state), serving from January 9, 1899 to January 14, 1903. The Republican politician was in office when the legislature adopted the "Oregon System", Oregon's system of initiative and referendum. He also served in the Oregon House of Representatives, including time as its Speaker. The Compiler held the rank of Brigadier-General and was the State's Adjutant General. He also served as Major in the Second Oregon U.S. Volunteer Infantry. The 2nd Oregon Volunteer Infantry Regiment was a military regiment recruited in the U.S. state of Oregon during the Spanish-American War. As the first foreign war in U.S. history, it was the first time members of the Oregon National Guard had fought on foreign soil. The regiment also served with distinction in the Philippine-American War. At full strength, it was composed of 50 officers and 970 enlisted men. The regiment's last company was mustered out of service in August 1899. The regiment was formed after the battleship USS Maine exploded in Havana Harbor in Cuba on 15 February 1898. The U.S. Congress declared war on Spain on 21 April 1898, beginning the Spanish-American War. On 25 April 1898, President William McKinley asked Oregon for a regiment of infantry, preferably recruited from the existing National Guard. Oregon's was considered one of the nation's better equipped and trained guards. The regiment was organized and mustered by 8 May at Camp McKinley on the racetrack grounds at Irving Park in Portland, and named the 2nd as the 1st had been organized in 1864 to guard trade routes and escort immigrant wagon trains. After a few days training under Colonel Owen Summers, it departed for the Presidio of San Francisco. On 25 May, the regiment embarked at San Francisco en route for the Philippines. On 21 June, the 2nd Oregon participated in the surrender of Guam. The 2nd Oregon next landed at the Philippines, the first U.S. Army unit to do so. It was also the first unit to enter the Walled City of Manila, and took part in the surrender of the Spanish army in Manila on 13 August. Beginning on 16 August, the regiment served guard duty in Manila. On 4 February 1899, Philippine insurgents attacked U.S. troops in Manila, beginning the Philippine-American War. Oregon troops fought in five campaigns and forty-two battles, engagements, and skirmishes over the next four months. During these actions, sixteen Oregonians were killed or died of wounds, forty-eight died of other causes, and eighty-eight were wounded. Three members of the regiment were awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism while serving as Young's Scouts: Private Frank C. High of Jacksonville, Private Edward E. Lyon of Portland, and Private Marcus W. Robertson of Hood River. They were the only three Oregonians out of twelve Oregon-based recipients to be awarded the medal while still alive. On 13 May 1899, Private Lyon, with eleven other scouts, "without waiting for the supporting battalion to aid them or to get into position to do so, charged over a distance of about 150 yards and completely routed about 300 of the enemy, who were in line and in a position that could only be carried by a frontal attack". Three days later, 21 of the same scouts, including High and Robertson, "charged across a burning bridge, under heavy fire, and completely routed 600 of the enemy who were entrenched in a strongly fortified position". The regiment sailed for Oregon on 14 June 1899, and was among the first infantry units to return to the United States from the Philippines. Major General Henry Ware Lawton told the soldiers before their departure: "You have nobly earned the reputation of being among the best soldiers of the American Army." The 2nd Oregon received a hero's welcome when it arrived in San Francisco on 13 July 1899.
