Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Bunkie and Other Ballads The first part of this book is composed of army verses based on my personal experiences when serving as a private in Companies "L" and "G," 23rd U. S. Infantry ("Regulars") and Troop "I," 5th U. S. Cavalry ("Regulars"), during the Philippine Insurrection of 1899-1902; the four initial pieces being simply army "types" true of "the Service" in general; next a number of verses applicable to the Philippines in particular, and more especially to the Insurrection. In natural order then follow the returned soldier's reminiscences and other army themes. In this way a rational continuity has been preserved. The latter part of the volume consists of verses on various subjects, with no especial regard to sequence. I am indebted to the following publications for permission to reprint these things of mine; many of which have, from time to time, appeared in them: - "Book News," "Harper's Weekly," "The Philadelphia Inquirer," "The Evening Bulletin" (Philadelphia), "The Evening Telegraph" (Philadelphia) and "The Pittsburg Post."
