CHAPTER X Most of us in headquarters camp were late turning in on Friday night, for all our traps had to be securely packed up so they could be brought on after us when required, as we had no expectation of returning to the spot again. General Greene had invited me to accompany him, so my billet for the next day was settled. Some of the correspondents had arranged to follow their favorite regiments, others had accepted invitations to watch the bombardment from the squadron, and a goodly number had agreed to go on the Albany, which was to cruise along as near the scene of action as she could. The seashore was likely to be far the most interesting place, because at this point it was possible to observe both the land and naval operations. The Third Artillery and the Astor Battery, the organizations in which I felt the most interest on account of my intimate acquaintance with them, were both stationed so far from the shore that I had no hope of seeing them at all during the action. I could not join either one of them with advantage, because, as experience had taught me, in order to cover a broad horizon and to get an intelligent notion of the general operations, it was absolutely necessary to keep in touch with the head of active direction of affairs, putting aside all questions of personal sympathy with any particular organization. I knew that General Greene was sure to be in whatever interesting was going on. At four o'clock the bugles sounded their harsh call, and this time there was no grumbling to be heard as we struggled into our wet clothes, at least near my tent, which I now occupied alone, as Colonel Potter had gone away ill. A slight WATER BUFFALO DRACGINC GUNS OF THE ITAH BATTERY INTO POSITION drizzle was falling, and the skies...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an innovative mix of history, anthropology, and post-colonial theory, Vicente L. Rafael examines the role of language in the religious conversion of the Tagalogs to Catholicism and their subsequent colonization during the early period (1580-1705) of Spanish rule in the Philippines. By tracing this history of communication between Spaniards and Tagalogs, Rafael maps the conditions that made possible both the emergence of a colonial regime and resistance to it. Originally published in 1988, this new paperback edition contains an updated preface that places the book in theoretical relation to other recent works in cultural studies and comparative colonialism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the United States prosecuted a bloody campaign to pacify its newly won Philippines territory at the turn of the nineteenth century, a secret mission of mercy went terribly wrong. The result was a prisoner-of-war crisis, the likes of which our nation had never encountered before. The epic struggle for survival that followed was not only a test of the human will to live, but a crucible for heroes. And yet, what was touted as a heroic rescue operation extended a war by almost two years and cost the lives of thousands. In April 1899, Admiral George Dewey dispatched the USS Yorktown to liberate a detachment of Spanish soldiers under siege by Filipino rebels. To reconnoiter enemy defenses, one of the Yorktown’s armed cutters—manned by a crew of fifteen sailors—was sent toward shore. And then it happened. Defying orders, Lieutenant James C. Gillmore Jr. recklessly pushed upriver into heavy jungle—and headlong into an ambush that would kill four of his men. The survivors were dragged across mountains and through dense jungle from one pestilent prison to the next along what Gillmore called “a veritable Devil’s Causeway.” Their captivity and the torturous expedition sent to recover them, recalled today as one of the greatest marches in US Army history, features a tightly hewn cast of characters—including a frail yet determined teenaged sailor and his hardened seafaring mates; battle-tested veterans of the Civil War and the Indian Wars; and a fiery revolutionary commander who gave orders to bury wounded Americans alive. A sweeping military epic drawing on international primary sources, The Devil’s Causeway tells their extraordinary story in its entirety for the first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are about to embark on the most monumental journey of all archaeological discoveries. The mother lode that would make the likes of Indiana Jones salivate. The true land of gold in all of history which leads to the location of the Garden of Eden and Land of Creation identifying the Rivers from Eden en route. Why is this important? You will never understand geography, history nor especially Bible prophecy without this restored knowledge of what many will consider the most illustrious realm on Earth. Without this, one cannot interpret archaeology with mastery, lecture on history with certainty, preach a sermon on the topic with veracity nor even satisfy elementary queries. Though founded in the Bible which is the origin of this saga, examine the history, archaeology, geography, science, linguistics, etc. which all converge to reveal what the world knew and somehow misplaced about a century ago. This is a mystery no longer and now, you will know the whereabouts of the lost isles of gold... The Philippines.This documented journey will rock your world. From the creators of Solomon's Gold Series with over 10 million views on YouTube. Author and Researcher Timothy Schwab from the Philippines who leads an international research team, The God Culture, articulates the complete case for the Philippines as Ophir, Sheba, Tarshish and the Garden of Eden. Once you review this, it will likely change your perspective on ancient Biblical geography and history. In every video, they have challenged viewers to "prove all things" and test their findings. In almost 4 years, there have been no coherent challenges to date. "Thoroughly researched, well supported with Biblical truths, strongly convicted." This revolutionary book is an eye-opener as it challenges what is now accepted as truth by probing history with unquestionable pieces of evidence. It is high-time for this book to spread like wildfire as it answers one of the most important issues in the Bible - the origin of the Kingdom. Tim is a shouting voice whose only agenda is to seek the truth and expose it to the world. His study unearthed the true identity of the Filipinos as Ophirians. I highly recommend this book for it will be an important key to bringing revival to this nation and generation, it is a piece of the puzzle that will complete the bigger picture in this end times."- Bishops Rod and Ruth Cubos, Christ The Healer International Missions MovementAlso, download their complete SOURCEBOOK electronically to read along with each source used in this book.
