Description
War reporting from Cuba by Richard Harding Davis fills this 1897 book, printed by R. H. Russell of New York. Frederic Remington drew the many pictures. A note in the file marks the book as made before the Spanish-American War.
Davis writes on the Cuban revolt against Spain. Chapters treat the fate of the pacificos, the death of Rodriguez, and the Spanish trocha, a line of forts across the island. The question of atrocities and the right of search of American vessels get full chapters. Some pieces first ran as letters from the field. The book helped shape how Americans saw the Cuban war in the year before their own country joined it.
