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 Inquiring 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 information about the campaign as my observation and experience enables me to impart. It is in deference to these considerations that these pages, revised 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 simply 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.

Excerpt from Memories of the Campaign of Santiago: June 6, 1898-Aug, 18, 1898 Monday, June 6th. - In camp at Tampa, Florida. About 6 p. m., while the company was drawing clothing, orders were received for the regiment to get ready at once to proceed to Port Tampa, to embark on one of the transports. Much difference of opinion as to whether the transport would go to Puerto Rico or Santiago de Cuba. Regiment ready to move by 7:30 p. m., but marching orders were not received until the next morning. Tuesday, June 7th. - About 8:15 a. m. left camp and marched over to West Tampa, and took a train for Port Tampa, which we reached about 12 m.

About 12 o'clock that night orders were received to return to the dock immediately. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from book: II CAMP THOMAS, GEORGIA As I had apprehended, I found that my own troop (M) had not assumed material form. The Colonel assigned me to Troop D. I had commanded this troop for a short time, years before. The term of service had been shortened since then, and there were none of the men of that day in the troop. But to my great satisfaction I found that the First Sergeant was William H. Givens, whom I remembered as a sergeant in Troop B when I joined it fresh from West Point in 1877, and as First Sergeant of Troop K while I served in that organization several years later. We had followed many a long, dry trail together in Texas and Arizona. The two lieutenants whom I found with the troop I had never met before. My First Lieutenant was soon detailed as recruiting-officer in Chattanooga, leaving me my Second Lieutenant, J. F. Kennington, a West Point graduate of 1896, who had recently, in the absence of the First Lieutenant as well as of the Captain, commanded the troop for some time. His knowledge of the men and affairsof the troop made his services peculiarly valuable. About the first thing I did on assuming command was to take an inventory of the property in the hands of the men. I made a blank form, with the roster of the troop in a column on the left-hand side, and the articles constituting the kit on a line at the top, with four columns for each article. Armed with this sheet, and accompanied by the First Sergeant, I went through each squad in succession, checking each article opposite each name as here indicated: S? serviceable. R?to be repaired in troop. C?to be condemned. M?missing. The articles to be repaired were mostly saddlery. They were pointed out to the chiefs of squads, who were charged with seeing that the men responsible for them took them to the troo...
