National Guard of Indiana, 1910

Description:	Formed in the 1860s and known as the Indiana Legion until 1895, the Indiana National Guard was not yet integrated into the federal defense system at the time of this photo. It would be incorporated six years later by the National Defense Act of 1916. During the summer of 1910, several sessions of an officers training school were held at the Fort Benjamin Harrison including National Guardsmen from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Illinois. This photo was taken during the July session. The original nitrate negative was copied with funds provided by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1990. This digital image was created from that copy. The copy prints and negatives are stored in Microfiche Number order. Interpositives are stored in PAN number order.
