Munson, a native of Minnesota, prepared for the ministry as a youn^ man. He graduated from St. Olaf’s College, a Lutheran institution in Minnesota, and was all set to take over a church when the last

Munson is related to a one-time Minnesota governoi and famous U. S. senator Knute Nelson. With his army career nearly ended, : the sergeant clings to the hope that
