The War of 1898, and U.S. Interventions, 1898-1934
A fascinating encyclopedic survey of the Spanish-Cuban/American War, the Philippine War, and the small wars between 1899 and the end of the occupation of Haiti in 1934. The name changes themselves are instructive. The usage of "Spanish-American War" ignores the fact that the war in Cuba had been largely won by the Cuban revolutionaries before US intervention, hence the new title, Spanish-Cuban/American War. The use of "Philippine Insurrection" is replaced by Philippine War, since the Philippine forces had taken much of the islands from Spain before US ground forces arrived. And guerillas or revolutionaries have replaced "bandits," the term used by the US to discredit oppositional forces. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
The Bonehunters' Revenge

Onward Christian Soldier
ELIAS ROOT BEADLE (1812-1879) was a clergyman, missionary, orator, scientist, and world traveler who served as pastor of Presbyterian Churches in New York State, Indiana, New Orleans, and Philadelphia, as well as the pastor of a Congregational Church in Hartford, Connecticut. He was a missionary in Syria, delegate to Presbyterian gatherings in the British Isles, and an internationally recognized conchologist and mineralogist. This book is also the story of religion in 19th century America-cooperation among Protestant denominations, the clash with Catholicism, the rising challenge of secular science, and the role of religion in politics and society. The resources of the computer age have yielded an amazingly detailed picture of Beadle's life and the world he lived in.
