1900WRCAM51843Havana 1900. Approximately 520; 600pp. including several folding charts. Over 200 separate imprints. Original half leather and brown cloth boards spine gilt. Corners and edges worn spine rubbed boards scuffed. Initial leaves of first volume torn away but present. Several other leaves chipped and torn throughout. With many official signatures and docketing stamps. Good. Two volumes of orders promulgated in 1889 and 1900 by the American military government of Cuba after the cessation of hostilities in the Spanish-American War. Under the terms of the Teller Amendment to the Congressional Joint Resolution for war with Spain in 1898 the United States denied the intention of using the conflict as a pretext for the annexation of Cuba and promised to leave the island following the termination of the war. The American military therefore oversaw the creation of the new independent Cuban government before departing in 1902. The documents contained in this collection consist of over two hundred orders in both English and Spanish from the Headquarters Division of Cuba that helped to shape the emerging civilian government. They include instructions for the running of elections the organization of the courts and school system the appointments for various government offices provisions for tax regulations and many other critical issues facing Cuba at its independence. The directives cover two periods from January to July in 1899 and from July to September in 1901. Many of the orders are signed in manuscript by the assistants to the military governor for the island Gen. Leonard Wood including assistant adjutant generals J.B. Hickey and L.W.V. Kennon and Brig. Gen. Chief of Staff Adna R. Chaffee. An interesting documentation of the first American occupation of Cuba. hardcover books
1898WRCAM46791Chickamauga Park Ga 1898. 5pp. Quarto written on "Black Hills Squadron" stationery. Old fold lines. Minor wear. Very good plus. A pair of letters written by Leighton H. Baxter to a friend back home. In his first letter he states that he is "not an enlisted soldier but has a regulation suit.a horse to ride and am fixed up very nicely. He works for the commander of the squadron Major Leigh H. French presumably as a teenage civilian clerk. His duties include "a good deal of writing to do telegrams to send take notes of cases tried in the regiment and a great many other minor duties." He sleeps in the same tent as the Major and takes his meals with the officers. He is well fed but is very glad not to be a private as they "fare badly." It is however "a regular circus to see the boys ride and shoot they beat Buffalo Bill all to pieces." Baxter reports that there are some 40000 to 50000 troops at Camp Thomas with more due to arrive. Some have already departed for "Porto Rico" and he expects his squadron to be going there at any time. In his second letter he notes that the men in his regiment are all "crack shots and fine riders" and all from around Deadwood and the Black Hills. He has been drilling with the men and has learned to handle a sword fairly well. He also mentions practicing "rough riding.such as leaping from a horse while he is running then back again picking up a hat while at full speed etc." <br> <br> The Third U.S. Volunteer Cavalry was mustered into service in May 1898 and commanded by Melvin Grigsby attorney general for the state of South Dakota. The unit was known both as the "Black Hills Squadron" and as "Grigsby's Cowboy Cavalry." Its commander Maj. Leigh H. French was trained as a medical doctor and surgeon and had a practice in Washington D.C. when the war broke out. One of his captains Seth Bullock was the first sheriff of Deadwood. The squadron never saw active duty outside the continental United States spending most of its brief career at Camp Thomas in Georgia. In the crowded camp in the heat of a southern summer typhus measles and other illnesses were rampant and Grigsby's Cavalry lost twenty-seven men to disease. unknown books
