Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... Introduction. The Philippine Islands having now become a permanent and very prominent part of the United States, information relative to them will therefore be eagerly sought by the public in general, and by our schools in particular. I have, therefore, deemed it expedient to embody the known History and the known Geography of the archipelago within the same cover, --being careful to so classify the subject-matter that those who may care to use it for a book of reference will find it convenient; also that teachers desirous of using it as a supplementary work on History and Geography, or for a special study of the Philippine Islands, may find it simple, appropriate, attractive and inspiring to their pupils. The information herein contained was collected by me while serving in the United States volunteer army in the islands. Part of it is a translation from the original Spanish History found in the archives of Manila, part of it was taken from old American records, and part was secured through the kindness of the Assistant Secretary of War; but a large part of it is the result of my personal observation and investigation. It is respectfully dedicated to American school children with the hope that it may find favor with our splendid generation. the author. chapter I. history. discovery. The Philippine Islands were discovered by Magellan (Hernando de Magellanes), a Portuguese navigator, sailing under the flag of Spain, March 31, 1521, --a time prior to which no authentic information relative to their history has been recorded. Magellan set sail from San Lucas, August 19, 1519, with five vessels; namely, the "Victoria," the "San Antonio," the "Santiago," the "Conceptione," and the "Trinidad." The object of his voyage was to find a western route...

Download or read book The Philippines written by Steven Rood and published by What Everyone Needs to Know(r). This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the colonization of the Philippines by Spain in the sixteenth century, the island archipelago has been at the center of global trade flows. And from its status as the main base of Spain's Pacific galleon trade to its conquest centuries later by late-arriving imperial powers like the United States and Japan, it has been a focal point of economic and military rivalry too. Decolonized in 1946, this enormously diverse country is ruled today by a classic modern authoritarian, Rodrigo Duterte, and is embroiled in a series of as-of-yet minor disputes with the East Asia region's rising superpower, China. As it has globalized, its population has migrated across the world too, and Filipino now comprise the second-largest population of Asian-Americans in the United States. In The Philippines: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Steven Rood draws from more than 30 years of residence in and study of the Philippines in order to provide a concise overview of the nation. Arranged in a question-and-answer format, this guide shares concise, nuanced analysis and helps readers find exactly what they seek to learn about Filipino geography and geology, history, culture, economy, politics through the ages, and prospects for the future. This book is an ideal primer on an enormously diverse country that has been and will likely remain a key site in world affairs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philippines and Filipinos: A Treatise on the History, the Civics, and the Mathematical, Physical and Political Geography of the Philippine Archipelago My former book, entitled "History and Geography of the Philippine Islands," having met with such favor at the hands of the public that a second edition of it became necessary, I felt encouraged to write this one. The other book was written in 1903; this one, in 1914. This interval of eleven years has witnessed such an unprecedented, and, I might add, truthfully, such an unexpected, era of industrial and commercial development in the Philippines, under the soverignty of the United States, that we now see them in a new perspective. Although a great deal of the information contained in this book was collected from among the archives of Manila, by myself, while I was on soldier duty in the Islands, yet I wish publicly to announce my obligations to the Department of Insular Affairs, Washington, D. C., for very valuable assistance rendered in furnishing to me a large number of public and private, civil and military, documents with which to verify my data and to complete my manuscript.
