Description
This exhaustive narrative describes in great detail the contributions of the United States Navy in the West Indies and Philippines during the Spanish-American War. ‘Boosterism’ of this type was not uncommon, as there was significant competition for public opinion and political favoritism between the various branches of the Armed Forces.
Flowery text and numerous diagrams, photographs, and illustrations highlight the history, military engagements, armaments, officer corps, and other facets of naval life during the 3-month long engagement. A folding chart at the end of the volume shows the position of the American fleet during the Battle of Santiago de Cuba on July 3, 1898.
Written by John Spears and published in New York by Charles Scribner’s Sons in 1898.
