1898WRCAM54683Various places including Pennsylvania Virginia at sea New Jersey and Puerto Rico 1898. 171pp. with 342 photographs. Four large quarto photograph albums. Matching contemporary three-quarter crimson morocco and cloth front covers gilt. Minor shelf wear and some rubbing. Images in overall very good condition. An amazing assemblage of photographs documenting the Spanish-American War experiences of the First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry which was at that time the oldest volunteer military unit in continuous service to the United States. The photographs are arranged chronologically in four contemporary photo albums with the images occasionally annotated in a contemporary hand and including the identification of numerous members of the Troop. <br> <br> The first volume opens with images of Mt. Gretna Pennsylvania "where troops were sworn into U.S. service May 7th 1898 by Maj. Thompson U.S.A." The photographs record field exercises camp building and tent organization at Camp Hastings cavalry drills an image of "Capt. Groome reading the Articles of War to Troop June 1898" a "first arrival of government horses" several shots of men training and "throwing" their horses shooting practice "Capt. Groome assigning Government horses to Troopers" and various shots of the men at work and even some play. Over the course of the album the names of numerous soldiers are recorded below several of the photographs. <br> <br> The second album opens with several photographs of the Troop striking their tents in preparation for leaving Camp Hastings at Mt. Gretna headed for Camp Alger at Dunn Loring Virginia. Here the Troop was ordered to increase their enlistment numbers. At Camp Alger the Troop was also fitted out with federal supplies and assigned to the Second Army Corps commanded by Maj. Gen. William Graham who is pictured here. Other photographs capture the camp scene at Alger "the First Troop picket line" the Troop receiving their federal-issue khaki uniforms the Troop at roll call and some shots featuring African-American helpers. <br> <br> In late July the Troop was sent to Newport News and several photographs record their brief time there with about a dozen shots of their temporary camp. On July 28 1898 the Troop left Virginia on the transport ship MASSACHUSETTS bound for Puerto Rico. Several images here capture the frenetic loading of the troops and their horses onto the ship with the remaining half dozen or so shots recording the Troop's time on board. <br> <br> The third album picks up where the second left off with the First City Troop embarked on the transport ship MASSACHUSETTS headed for Guanica Puerto Rico. Shipboard activities captured here include a few shots of groups of men being showered with water hoses. Several shots record the arrival of the men in the port of Guanica where they encounter the hospital ship NUECES which reports of the news of the "surrender of Ponce." After the men disembark they pitch their camp around Cathedral Virgin del Carmen on August 5. The next day several photographs record the unloading of horses and stores in the harbor at Ponce. The remaining thirty-eight photographs in this volume record scenes in the interior of Puerto Rico and are the most heavily annotated of the four albums. The images record scenes from the "road from Port of Ponce to Ponce" several scenes capturing a market day in Ponce and recording numerous native islanders the Troop's "temporary camp about 2 miles beyond Ponce" the "Troop wagon leaving camp beyond Ponce to join wagon train for Guayama" on August 8 a shot of the Troop's wagon "on road to Guayama in a Porto Rico mudhole" images of the wagon train to Guayama with the H Troop 6th U.S. Cavalry the "Point of Advance Guard entering Guayama within the lines" the Troop itself "entering Guayama passing General Brooke's Headquarters" a "View of First Troop Phila. City Cavalry U.S.V. Camp at Arroyo August 10th to 6A.M. Aug. 13th 1898" with the last ten images recording the camp or the streets at Arroyo. <br> <br> The fourth album documents the Troop's voyage home to Philadelphia. This time they take passage on the transport ship MISSISSIPPI and about half of the images record their voyage on board. On Sept. 10 1898 they reach Jersey City in New York harbor where they camp for a short time before returning to camp in Pennsylvania where the album ends. A couple of months later all three officers and the ninety- eight enlisted men of the First City Troop were mustered out of federal service for the Spanish-American War. <br> <br> Originally founded in 1774 by twenty-eight Philadelphia patriots as the "Light Horse of the City of Philadelphia" the First Troop of Philadelphia Cavalry is the oldest mounted military unit operating in continuous service to the American republic being the first volunteer cavalry troop organized in defense of the colonies. Among the Troop's original founders was John Dunlap printer to Congress from 1778 to 1789 publisher of the first American daily newspaper and the first printer of the Declaration of Independence. Most of the earliest members were similarly notable professional men of Philadelphia. The Troop served with valor in the American Revolution the War of 1812 the Mexican- American War the Civil War the Spanish- American War and every major American war through the Korean War. <br> <br> The present albums present a unique and important visual record of the First City Troop's activities before during and on the way home from the Spanish-American War. hardcover books
1890LIST110Havana: R. Testar 1890. Albumen photograph on cardstock mount image measuring 7 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches on 8 3/4 x 5 1/2 inch mount. A view of an American warship in Havana harbor likely taken prior to the outbreak of hostilities between the United States and Spain in early 1898. The photographers Leach and Patterson of Calle San Rafael published several views of Cuba at this time mostly of bucolic scenes around Havana and its environs. The American cruiser is similar in design to the U.S.S. Maine with slight differences - two smokestacks instead of three. An excellent example with minor wear to mount and fine image. R. Testar unknown books
18983455New York: Published at the Office of "Cuba" 1123 Broadway 1898. First edition. In original printed wrappers. Wrappers creased and dented; spine missing at bottom. Corners dog-eared. A few pages with wormholes not affecting text. Otherwise in very good condition. First edition. In original printed wrappers. 74 2 pp. <p><br /> Rare first edition of Spain's 1897 grant of autonomy to Cuba and Puerto Rico-its last failed attempt to retain the islands through reform and the first constitutional success for the Cuban and Puerto Rican autonomist movements.<br /> <p><p><br /> Issued by Cuban autonomist exiles in New York this publication presents the full English translation of the Royal Decree of November 25 1897 signed by Queen Regent María Cristina which established broad local self-government for Cuba and Puerto Rico. It is accompanied by political commentary from Eliseo Giberga a leader of the Cuban Autonomist Party and editorials from El País the party's principal newspaper in Havana. The decree promised legislative authority to elected insular parliaments universal male suffrage civil and political equality with mainland Spaniards and control over finance commerce education public works and internal justice while reserving military naval and foreign affairs to the Spanish central government. A unique provision among colonial constitutions preserved the islands' representation in the Spanish Cortes.<br /> <p><p><br /> Although hailed at the time as realizing "the dream of three generations of Cubans" the new constitutional system was overtaken by events. After the sinking of the USS Maine and the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898 Spain was forced to cede Puerto Rico to the United States and withdraw from Cuba rendering the newly granted autonomy largely theoretical. The political structure outlined in this decree was never fully implemented.<br /> <p><p><br /> The publication also offers comparative analysis asserting that the rights granted exceeded those enjoyed by Canadian provinces under the British North America Act of 1867 and in some respects by U.S. states. It preserves the vision of peaceful constitutional reform promoted by the Cuban Autonomist Party soon eclipsed by military occupation and the shift toward independence under American influence. <br /> <p><p><br /> This volume captures Spain's last liberal attempt to modernize its empire-a transitional political vision for Cuba and Puerto Rico that was quickly overtaken by war U.S. intervention and the collapse of Spanish colonial rule in the Americas and Pacific. It is also a key document in the history of Cuban constitutionalism and Puerto Rican political status.<br /> <p><p><br /> Rare particularly in original wrappers; only a handful of institutional holdings recorded. RBH lists only one copy sold in the past fifty years Sotheby's 2021.<br /> <p>. Published at the Office of "Cuba," 1123 Broadway unknown
