Southwestern Historical Quarterly
After a four-year stint of detached service as Indian agent at the
Anadarko Kiowa-Comanche Reservation (1894-1898) in present-
day Oklahoma, Baldwin returned to active duty during the Spanish-
American War. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel and sent to Cav-
ite Province on Luzon Island in the Philippines where he directed the
capture of hundreds of insurgents, including vice president of the Pro-
visional Philippine Government, Mariano Trias, and Lt. Gen. Bal-
domero Aguinaldo-the brother of Emilio Aguinaldo, leader of the in-
surgency. In 1902, as a colonel, Baldwin led the American forces who
pacified the region of southern Lake Lanao on the island of Mindanao,
defeating Moro tribesmen at the Battle of Bayan. Shortly thereafter,
Baldwin was promoted to the rank of brigadier general and was later
made commander of the Department of Colorado, from which he re-
tired in 19o6."''
Frank and Allie Baldwin lived together in retirement until he died in
1923. Allie Baldwin lived another seven years, during which she wrote
her memoirs and compiled those of her husband. In 1929, when she
was eighty-four years old, Allie saw her book of memoirs published.
Alice Blackwood Baldwin died in 1930 while living at her daughter's
home in Santa Monica, California."
