The Tennessee State Library and Archives holds published service abstracts for men from Anderson County who served in the First, Second, Third and Fourth Tennessee Volunteer Infantry units during the Spanish American War. They are arranged alphabetically in volumes transcribed by the WPA in the 1930s. The following list of volunteers is taken from the abstracts and is not a comprehensive listing of all Anderson Countians who served in the Spanish American War. The Tennessee Library and Archives has no records of men who served in the regular Army. For records of men who served in the regular Army and for the Compiled Services Records and pension records of men in Tennessee’s four volunteer infantry units, contact the National Archives and Records Administration. To order copies of the abstracts, contact the Tennessee Library and Archives.
