Book Synopsis The Santiago Campaign of 1898 by : A. B. Feuer
Download or read book The Santiago Campaign of 1898 written by A. B. Feuer and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1993-07-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is an account of the Santiago, Cuba, land campaign of the Spanish-American War, as conducted by General William R. Shafter's Fifth Army Corps. The narrative is based on firsthand information gathered from handwritten diaries, memoirs, and regimental and company histories of the men who participated in the campaign. These chronicles of frontline action paint an entirely different picture of what has been called The Splendid Little War. The opponent, far from being the cowardly Spanish soldier of myth, is revealed to be a courageous, resourceful foe. Furthermore, the attack on the outer defenses of Santiago was totally mismanaged by William Shafter, the American General in command, and his incompetent staff. Only the U.S. Navy's victory over the Spanish squadron on July 3, 1898, rescued the army from disaster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major land campaign of the Spanish-American War of 1898 was the American battle with Spain for the Cuban city of Santiago. Painfully aware of the mistakes made and lives needlessly lost, John Bigelow, Jr, who served as the Captain in the U.S. Calvary, wrote: "The enlisting, organizing, drilling, and equipping of an army of over two hundred and fifty thousand men, the transportation of about twenty thousand of them to a theatre of war a thousand miles or more distant, and from a temperate to a tropical climate, on less than one month's notice for preparation, involved endless confusion and an almost total disregard of the rules and precautions of scientific warfare. In this narration I have not sought to give undue prominence to, still less to disguise, any of the consequences of this want of preparation. On the contrary, if what I have to report can have any value, professionally or otherwise, and I hope it will be found to have some, it must consist mainly in the frank disclosure of everything that fell under my personal observation, the recurrence of which our Government in the future should strive to avoid." Military historians will find this an unusually candid account of a war that too often is described as an unmitigated success.

This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Santiago Campaign ON my return from the Cuban campaign in July last, I found the community into which I was thrown during my convalescence intensely interested in every detail of the experience of any one who had participated in it. The space subsequently given in the public prints to the proceedings of the President's Commission for In quiring into the Conduct of the War, has led my friends as well as some publishers to urge me to allow the general public to Share such informa tion about the campaign as my observation and experience enables me to impart. It is in defer ence to these considerations that these pages. Re vised from my correspondence with my family, are now submitted to the public. They make no pretension to be a history of the late war, nor even of the campaign of Santiago, but sim ply what the title implies - a narration of what an officer participating in that campaign saw, felt, and thought, with such explanations and suggestions as his observations and reflections prompted.

CONCLUSION Before the fall of Santiago the promotion of officers especially commended to the War Department and the consequent overslaughing of others was inaugurated. At the battle of San Juan the commanders of the First and Tenth U. S. Cavalry, whose services dated respectively from 1861 and 1862, were under the orders of a young man who entered the army in 1886, and at the beginning of the war was an assistant surgeon with the rank of captain. Upon the close of the campaign and the return of the troops to the United States, it seemed as if everybody who could be made a brigadier-general was. For those who were not deemed worthy of such promotion, or some other, the only hope of reward lay in the brevet appointments which the War Department was preparing to recommend to the President. A brevet commission does not confer any rank nor carry any pay with it. A brevet is practically an empty title. The recommendations were made, but could not be acted on because they required the approval of the Senate, and that methodical body would not delay its adjournment long enough to consider them. For the soldiers, one immediate effect of the declaration of peace was a twenty per cent, reduction of their pay, which had been increased in that proportion for the war. A simultaneous hardship which they felt perhaps as much as this one, but which fortunately proved to be but temporary, was their deprivation of beer and light wines at post-canteens. The reader may need to be informed that the post-canteen is a soldiers' club under the general management of an officer. It is intended, like the club to which, say, the reader belongs, to provide innocent amusement and harmless refreshment. It is a place in which a soldier can go after dark and have a...
