Dean Worcester's Fantasy Islands
A biography of the man whose photographic activities had a profound influence on the way that Americans perceived the Philippines throughout the twentieth century
The Philippines - Past and Present
The Philippines Past and Present in 2 volumes is a historical work by Dean C.
