The men all underwent a rigid examination by officers detailed from the regu lar service. The medical Officers Of the regiment also assisted in this work and it took what was considered a good healthy man and a man properly built to Obtain his enlistment. Plenty of recruits were turned away as unsatisfactory and even members Of the National Guard who had served in State campaigns received such close scrutiny that a few of them failed to pass. The result of this care by the examiners was that Colorado sent out a regiment perhaps the healthiest in the field and whose losses by disease did not nearly equal those Of other regiments in the same branch of the campaign.

Reseña del editor
The First Regiment, Colorado Infantry, U. S. V., saw a full year of Luzon's erratic seasons. This regiment, one of the pioneers of the foreign service, landed in time to find the rainy season of 1898 at its wettest and stayed to complete the cycle of rains, roasts, typhoons, winds and even earthquakes. The "flagraisers" at Manila joined in the opening overture of the campaign against the Spanish and followed up the peaceful situation they helped to establish with the Dons by chiming in with the chorus of Springfield volleys against the Filipinos on the night of February 4th. The back-bone of the insurrection appeared broken when they started for home.
The Colorado aggregation was one quite typical of the American volunteers. Miners forsook their picks and blasting powder in the rich caverns at Leadville and Cripple Creek; bank clerks threw down their pens; men of professions gave up practices; brawny cattlemen on the waving plains dismounted from their bronchos, and laborers relinquished their jobs - all to aid Colorado to contribute her aid in subduing arrogant Spain. The National Guard training of many of these men served them well and their healthful rearing in Colorado's climate of ozone, furnished prowess which brought the regiment through the terrors of a tropical climate comparatively unscathed. Spanish and Filipino bullets claimed a few, but the Colorado Regiment left the Philippines with the same reputation it had gained shortly after landing there - one of the ever-readies of the service. It was the regiment that Gen. Francis V. Greene termed during his active work against the Spanish before Manila, "the back-bone of my brigade."
The Regiment Organized.
Colorado's allotment of volunteers for the Spanish War under the first call of the President was one regiment of infantry and two troops of cavalry. It was ruled that the National Guard of the State should have the preference over strictly private citizens. The guard of the State consisted of two partially filled regiments of infantry and three troops of cavalry.
On April 29, 1898, the entire National Guard of Colorado was mobilized at Denver and went into camp close to City Park, the spot becoming known as Camp Adams, named after Hon. Alva Adams, Governor of the State. Here the stupendous task of resolving two infantry regiments into one and three cavalry troops into two was commenced by the Adjutant-General of the State, Cassius M. Moses, Brigadier-General Irving Hale, Col. Henry B. McCoy and Col. Charles H. Anderson. The consolidation was accomplished, the officers appointed by the Governor and the entire quota mustered into the United States service by Capt. E. F. Willcox of the 6th U. S. Cav., who was designated by the War Department as mustering officer, by May 6th.
