Forgotten Pioneers- Josias R. King
Josias King is believed to have been the first to volunteer for service in the First Minnesota Infantry Regiment. The Civil War memorial statue just below the St. Paul Cathedral in Summit Park bears his likeness. The article, originally written for the Junior Pioneer Association, describes the evidence regarding King’s enlistment and the history of the statue.
