This week's History Chats program looks at the experience of Marathon County during one of the most frequently overlooked and unknown military conflicts in U.S. History: the Spanish-American War. Join us to learn about the experience of the "baldheads" of Co G, 3rd Regiment of the Wisconsin National Guard.
