Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Springfield in the Spanish-American War In the Spanish-American war of 1898, Springfield rose to the occasion as she did in 1770 and 1861 and sent her youngest and best and bravest sons to the front. It was her sons who fought and fell at El Caney, the one battle of modern times where infantry, practically unsupported by artillery, captured a well fortified town and it was her sons who were in the lead in drawing the attacking lines so tightly about the city of Santiago that its surrender had to follow. It was her sons also who, on the high seas, on a fast auxiliary cruiser, did faithful service as a portion of the navy and had the satisfaction of doing their share in remembering the Maine by sinking a Spanish transport and a gun boat. Her sons fell on the battlefield and died in the camps and hospitals after enduring as soldiers, the hardships and toils of one of the shortest yet most important and bloodiest campaigns in history and of the honors of that war, Springfield claims a goodly share for herself.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches From the Spanish-American War The following considerations constitute the Opinions of the author as acquired by him on the scene of war. He wishes to call special attention to the fact that until authentic data are available as to the strength of the two Opponents in the different battles, the tactical situations and intentions, and the losses in personnel and material, the reports can be but incomplete. Nevertheless it will be desirable, even without awaiting official statements, which may not be published for years by the two belligerent parties, to sift the confused mass of material which has come to us through the newspapers and to try and describe the most important operations, at least approximately, as they have taken place. To that end I have partly made use of reports of Germans who were eye witnesses of the events. It is hardly necessary to emphasize the fact that the author has observed the strictest impartiality in his estimates of the situation. He has the same high regard for Spanish and Americans.

This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relations of the United States and Spain, the Spanish-American War, Vol. 2 Tampa, selected as the base for the army which it was expected to send to Cuba, is on a shallow arm of Tampa Bay, in a perfectly flat district of coral sand covered at this time with open forests of moderate-sized pines. From the sandy and absorbent character of the soil, and the shade afforded by the park-like distribution of the pines, it was in many ways an ideal point for a large camp. The vast and palatial Tampa Bay Hotel, the only building of value (separated by an arm of the bay from the small town, made up of cheap wooden structures used as cigar factories, in which most of the employees were Cubans), was an important element as affording excellent headquarters. Ten miles south-west was Tampa Port, the head of navigation, and the terminus of the railway. This was the point of departure for the Plant line of steamers for Key West and Havana. The railway was the property of Mr. Plant, under whose able administration the district had been developed and whose energetic and able staff was of much assistance in the working of the overtaxed single line of rails. The chief drawback was the heat of the district at this season, accentuated by the sandy character of the soil, and which was almost unbearable to men brought from the higher plains of the Western regions, and even from Alaska, in the same woollen clothing with which they had left the Western posts. They wore this same clothing until the end of July. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Patriotic Eloquence Relating to the Spanish-American War and Its Issues Appeal to the reason and the conscience of men. But suppose there is no response? Then submit to their wrong doing. Therefore the philosophical anarchist will not allow the punishment of a child by the parent, he will not allow the punishment of a pupil by the teacher, he will not allow the maintenance of a prison or jail for the punishment of a law-breaker by the country, he will not allow a policeman in the city, except to show ladies across muddy streets, and he will not allow an army to defend a nation attacked, or to emancipate another nation from despotism. This is a consistent philosophy. I respect it intellectually; I dissent from it both intellectually and morally.

Book excerpt: "Forward, March" A Tale of the Spanish-American War by Kirk Munroe In the morning-room of a large, old-fashioned country-house, situated a few miles outside the city of New Orleans, sat a young man arranging a bowl of roses. Beside him stood a pretty girl, in riding costume, whose face bore a trace of petulance. "Do make haste, Cousin Ridge, and finish with those stupid flowers. You have wasted half an hour of this glorious morning over them already!" she exclaimed. "Wasted?" rejoined Ridge Norris, inquiringly, and looking up with a smile. "I thought you were too fond of flowers to speak of time spent in showing them off to best advantage as 'wasted.'" "Yes, of course I'm fond of them," answered Spence Cuthbert, who was from Kentucky on a Mardi Gras visit to Dulce Norris, her school-chum and cousin by several removes, "but not fond enough to break an engagement on account of them."
