Spanish American War Memorial, Wyoming State Capitol Grounds - Cheyenne, WY - Spanish-American War Memorials on Waymarking.com

"On the Capitol grounds at the opposite corner at 24th Street and Central Avenue stands a statue dedicated to those who served in the Spanish American war." (from (visit link) )

The sculpture is entitled 'Taking the Oath.' There appears to be a bit of the raised right hand missing (fingertips).

The inscriptions read:

The heroes of the Spanish
American War
by
The State of Wyoming
and
The Ladies Volunteer Aid
Society

Second Regiment
U.S, Vol. Cavalry

First Battalion,
Wyoming Volunteers
