A Soldier in the Philippines
by Needom N. Freeman
The Battle of Bayan and Other Battles
by James Edgar Allen & John J. Reidy
Two accounts within one special edition
As the 19th Century drew to a close and the United States had
consolidated its dominance of North America, the new nation looked
outwards into a world of imperial powers who vied with each other
to dominate the globe in influence and trade. Those Americans who
believed that a great nation should not be absent from great
politics ensured that the United States would soon be flexing its
own muscles on the international stage. War in Cuba-the Spanish
American War-followed, together with the annexation of the
Philippine Islands. There the American forces had to deal with
Spanish forces, those Philippinos who had their own ideas on
independence and with the Moros, a fierce Muslim tribal minority
ready to take on all comers. This book is not a campaign history.
It deals with the day to day experiences on campaign-and on the
firing line-of ordinary American soldiers fighting on strange and
foreign shores. These recollections make fascinating reading for
those interested in the early period of the American Army at war
beyond its own frontiers.
