Krsto Mijuskovich was born in Celo Povija, Montenegro, in 1886, and was a son of Marko Mijuskovich of that town. After spending his early life in Montenegro, he came to the United States in March, 1906, and made his home in Nevada. When the Balkan war broke out in October 1912, he returned to his native Country and served against Turkey to the end. Later he served again when Montenegro and Serbia fought their war with Bulgaria, and distinguished himself for bravery on many occasions. In July, 1914, he returned to America, again making Nevada his home.

When the United States declared war upon Germany, the veteran of two wars offered his services to his adopted country. He entered the army from Millers, Esmeralda County, Nevada, September 7, 1917. Ranking as Corporal, he went to France with Company L, 362d Infantry, of the 91st Division, and served bravely with his regiment in the Argonne campaign. On September 29th, 1918, he was wounded in battle during the advance of the 91st towards Gesnes, an advance in which his regiment suffered most severe losses. He was returned to the United States in February, 1919, and sent to the Letterman Hospital at the Presidio, San Francisco, California. There the gallant soldier died on the 20th of July, 1919. His remains were returned to Nevada and interred at Tonopah.

The battle in which Corporal Mijuskovich fell was on of the bloodiest of the war. On the morning of September 26th, 1918, the American Army began its advance into the Argonne Mountains. The 91st Division was the fourth from the left, in a position south of the Bois de Cheppy, between positions held by the 35th and 37th Divisions. By nightfall they had reached a line north of the village of Very, and were driving the enemy before them. The next day Epinonville fell in their advance and by the 28th, their line was in the woods north of Eclisfontaine. On the 29th they were advancing across rolling open country in the face of terrific artillery and machine gun fire. Many gallant Nevada boys fell in the ranks of the 362d that day. The 32d Division relieved the 91st and captured Gesnes, but the westerners had done their work well in spite of fearful losses. Nevada will always be proud of the noble part her sons took in that famous advance of the 91st. Besides his father, the Esmeralda County soldier leaves a wife, Angelia K. Mijuskkovich, and four children, two boys and two girls, in Montenegro, whose address is Celo Povija, Posta Niksich, and two brothers residing in this country, one of whom is M. M. Mijuskovich of Tonopah, Nevada.
