1902311327np 1902. 5-67 manuscript pages on the rectos of unbound sheets. 8 x 5 inches. Lacking the first 4 leaves and an indeterminate number at end several leaves quite worn each crudely taped or pasted to modern paper and then crudely cropped at the top edge without loss of text. 5-67 manuscript pages on the rectos of unbound sheets. 8 x 5 inches. This account consists of pages five to sixty-seven of what appears to be a diary or copied letters of an unnamed soldier in the 21st United States Infantry. The author who may have been a corporal remains unidentified by name. The account begins in August 1898 at Camp Hobson Lithia Springs GA; in September he is transferred to Plattsburgh NY rejoining the bulk of his regiment which had suffered heavy losses in Cuba. <br /> <br /> The Philippine-American war ran from February 1899 to July 1902 and was regarded as a continuation of a war for independence by the Philippines and as an insurrection by the United States of America. This account spans the duration of it providing rich detail on topics ranging from food to the war-ravaged environment and American-Philippino interactions both on and off the battlefield. <br /> <br /> An epic train ride across the country and then a boat from San Francisco brought the 21st US Infantry to Manila on 11 May 1899 in the fourth month of the conflict. The author mentions shipboard conditions an engine breaking down and comments "We caught 4 sharks in our trip. The largest was 12 feet long and took the whole crowd to land him aboard. the men used the bones for rings and pen holders and in fact every thing you could think."<br /> <br /> Their first combat was the capture of an insurgent outpost at Guadaloupa Ridge on 9 June 1899 where they "joined General Lauter's Flying Column . with eight chinamen to carry our rations."<br /> <br /> The description of this combat and its aftermath pages 33-41 is the most dramatic passage in the memoir. The writer was sent with another soldier to gather up some supplies that had been left behind but they were separated from the regiment with no food or water. They made a makeshift fort from some old haversacks and brush when they were unable to return to the trenches that night. The author describes scavenging after battle as follows: "About 10:00 oclock there was several chinamen came looking around and picking up what-ever they seen. They came to close to us to suit me and we shot 4 and the rest ran away."<br /> <br /> Going out in search of water at about four in the morning despite ongoing fire the author found several dead and mortally wounded soldiers from a black regiment including a graphic description of one man who had been shot at close range and had a hole the size of a fist in his belly and was covered in blood. Of the only survivor the author says: "Found one poor cuss shot through the hip. He could not move. I gave him some hard tack and he gave me water then I went back to our haversacks." Another disoriented soldier whom the author names as H. McBain was found wandering without most of his clothing brandishing a bottle of wine and an axe. <br /> <br /> After waiting until the 11th for a reclamation detail the author and his companion crawled through the brush for a mile to San Peter McCarty and eventually rejoined their regiment at Los Penes where their captain threatened to have them court-martialed for losing their haversacks. <br /> <br /> Later while hospitalized the author was befriended by Señora Edna Luna cousin of an insurgent general who took him out riding daily: "She was stuck on me and that is no lie. I think I ought to go back and hook up with her as she has all that is required. She is hansome & plenty of money" page 45. <br /> <br /> The author -- first too ill to be moved then put in a wheel chair and with trouble with his vision -- was transferred back to the States on 15 May 1900 page 48 by way of Nagasaki May 21 1900 and Yokohama arrived in San Francisco on June 9 1900 then was sent to recover at Hot Springs Arkansas concluding in Vancouver Barracks Washington circa July 1901. <br /> <br /> Some of the pages are torn and some text is lost at the bottom edges due to wear but the handwriting is clear and the voice of the author shines through. This narrative though it took place before World War One reads more akin to a Vietnam War narrative than a Civil War diary in tone and disregard for authority and the morality of war. unknown

4410WORLD WAR II IN THE PHILIPPINES. ALS. 3pg. 6 x 10 . June 6 1945. Philippine Islands. An autograph letter signed Claude an American GI stationed in the Philippines. He wrote on United States Army stationery to his friend John about fighting the Japanese: Dear John Was sure glad to hear from you again Thanks for writing. A lot has happened since I last wrote - but I won't bore you with very much of them - Have seen quite a bit of action. Mostly fighting n razor back mountains either covered with grass or off on another part of the island covered with jungle - It seemed we moved from one land to another - such a change in terrain - I mean like thick jungles vines & dampness at one place & the other so open one could see for miles and miles - even watch the japs digging in miles away with our binoculars. Weve had casualties but one has to expect some especially when fighting an offensive war - The japs being dug in so well it was almost a superhumanjob to clear out them - Rough going - guess I'm a lucky guy to be in the 60MM Mortar and light Machine Gun platoon - although we were hit some too. Lucky though just wounded were the boys. Well my Platoon Sgt. Went home with a bad ear - got infected someway or other and it really made life miserable for him - so now I'm acting in his compacity - I don't care much for the job but guess I'll have to string along until the end is over which I hope soon. Guess old Nick here was lucky - Had a few close one's too close for comfort. just hope my luck holds on. Guess as far as the point system goes - I'll be in the Army quite awhile yet. Only can figure out 69 points - Quite a jump to dig up 16 more And I've been in this Army 38 months already - Seems like half my life - When I get home I won't know how to act like a civilian - ha - I know one thing I'll have to learn to control my Army slang or else - I'm writing this in our rest area - although we aren't resting as yet - A lot of hard work to build it up & get it in shape first - Havent been her long - but it's a nice area - About like Fort Lewis. Pine trees - cold at night need three blankets still my pups get cold and now that the rainy season has set in it reminds me of Fort Lewis more so as we had so much rain there. Have one camp on a golf course - Been quite some time since I played golf - last tie in the Hawaiian Is. on the isle of Moloka! - More or less pasture. I'd send you a v-mail but as far as I know yet they go straight home with out being photographed and I don't think you'd want that kind. So am using the borderless airmail variety - No two cent overprints have showed up in this area as but if they do I'll remember you - Some of my other friends were asking about them too. Mr. Weltack has been sending me a first day cover now and then and I really appreciate it - as I have no way or time to bother with them. Hope I can continue after the war as I really get a kick out of FD. 's F.Fs F.AM's & all the other better covers. I belonged to the AAMS at one time and have been thinking about joining the MACC in the future. Its been a long time since I saw a good game of baseball- Was in 1939 I guess - In Chicago at the Cub park - The Cubs were playing the Giants at the time. My dad & cousin are great Cub fans but me I like to see a good game - The best men win - I used to play a little too. You know how young guys are - getting up a team & trying to lick the neighboring town teams a log of good clean fun. Well John write when you have time. I enjoy hearing from you. Best of Wishes Sincerely Claude. The letter is in fine condition. unknown

The Filipinos smoke cigarettes from the cradle and cigars not long after.†Others show well-dressed young schoolgirls toddlers playing in a miniature nipa hut and panoramic views of the Pasig River and Manila Bay. Of interest to historians of the Philippines’ American colonial period especially its agricultural and productive history. unknown

19055191N.p. 1905. About very good. 3pp. rectos only. About 900 words. Folio. Typescript with manuscript corrections and notations. Light wear and soiling slight creasing. Together with two silver gelatin photographs. A short but interesting essay on the mountain city of Baguio. It reads a bit like a travel article or potential newspaper puff piece for tourism and has been edited by hand with manuscript notations and corrections. It opens "Somewhere 'round about Petersburg the Czar of the Russias has what he calls his winter palace; down in Indian the English have what they call Simla their summer capital and here we Americans have Baguio." The author goes on to discuss the oppression of the tropics and therefore the need for cooler cities to enable functional government discussing the needs of the "white man" for livable conditions in such a place: "In the Philippines there are some months of the year that are extraordinarily summer summer in all the sense that the word implies summer until one can't rest and do it comfortably. It is during this time that the summer capital comes in as a life-saving station for the overworked and rundown public servant and such others as care to take advantage of the rural pueblo. . drudging all year in a comparatively warm atmosphere and then to be hit with a blast that seems like a draft from the furnace of the place that has its main thoroughfare paved with good resolutions is more than the average Anglo-Saxon can stand." He continues: "Shortly after the arrival of the civil commission in the islands the Governor wasn't long in deciding.that the English were pretty wise in having their summer capitals. He also decided the Philippines must have one. It was necessary if the white man was to stay indefinitely."<br /> <br /> He describes the process of locating Baguio in the pine forests and establishing a small town there despite the lack of a road and precipitous ascent to the area: "The committee reported the climate fine incomparable just like that of the United States in late fall and that one had to sleep under heavy blankets at night to keep warm. . despite skepticism . it proved a fact and one that was a blessing. Think of the pleasure of residing in the Philippines where flies seldom bother where mosquitos as a rule are few where patent leather shoes never crack.and having a delightfully hilly resort not ninety miles away to go to when one's spleen enlarges from a languid life or the malaria attacks with unrelenting persistence." He goes on to note that it costs nearly as much to go to Baguio as it does to travel to China "so that its full benefit has not yet been felt by the more humble in life". The typescript is accompanied by two photographs of the Philippines one depicting a trail through a pine forest presumably around Baguio and the other showing a Filipino woman being carried by two Filipino men in a sedan chair. unknown
17641400London: J. Dodsley 1764. Scare first edition of this document relating to the British occupation of Manila during the Anglo-Spanish War of 1762-3 and an interesting case of international law. In September of 1762 under the command of Draper and Cornish a British fleet of 13 ships containing over 6000 men attacked Manila and following a difficult landing quickly dispatched the Spanish garrison which they outnumbered 10 to 1.They entered the city on October 5 and part of the terms of capitulation was that Spain would pay the British an indemnity of 4 million pesos roughly a million pounds for not pillaging the city. The British evacuated in 1764 when hostilities ceased and Draper enjoyed the highly unusual privilege of presenting the standards of Spain taken in Manila to his alma mater Kings College Cambridge. But the Spanish did not honor this gentlemans agreement claiming that Draper dealt with an unauthorized agent that he himself broke the terms of the agreement etc. In order to press his claim which amounted to £25000 he published the present tract to pressure his government to collect. The tract contains a brief letter to the British Secretary of State outlining his grievance; a bilingual summary in English and French of the Spanish ambassadors grounds for not complying with the terms of the agreement; extracts from the treaty; a refutation by Draper of the claim that he dealt with an unauthorized agent; and an English language treaty signed by the original parties in Manila. But with hostilities over and their attention occupied by other foreign adventures chief among them America the British were in no position to insist and the suit was eventually abandoned.Griffin Bibliography of the Philippines p. 125; Dictionary of National Biography compact ed.

19503741Philippines 1950. Very good. Thirty-one original photographs each measuring 4 x 5 inches. Minor wear and dust soiling. Mostly sharp clean images. Fascinating group of over thirty candid photographs depicting Philippine settlers and their homes on the large southern island of Mindanao just after World War II. Over half over these show settlers and their homes in the Panguantucan and Nabaliwa areas of Bukidnon province in the center of the island as wells as images of coffee and soybean farms a poultry enterprise rural roads and bridges and more. Additional photographs show similar scenes in Lanao del Sur also on Mindanao and a few in the Tinambac municipality of the more central Camarines Sur province -- farmers with their products by the road agricultural families at work a plant nursery and settlers' children in the fields. Mindanao is one of the principal centers of agricultural production in the Philippines and the island was subject to a series of resettlement efforts across the 20th century by both colonial and independent governments aimed at increasing production. The photos are captioned in manuscript in English on the versos and scattered images of crude roads and construction equipment suggest that these images were taken by a U.S. Army engineer or a private contractor after the war. unknown

1940List2741Philippines and San Francisco 1940. pproximately 205 photographs: twenty 5 x 7†and smaller eighteen 3.75 x 5.5†and smaller and 167 2.5 x 3.5†and smaller. Most are glued into a scrapbook with some loose. Some photographs bent or with tears; some marked with pencil. Generally very good. The US’s military presence in the Philippines is long-standing beginning in 1898 with the Spanish-American War which ended that year with a treaty that sold the islands to the US. The Philippines was then an American colony until the country’s independence was recognized by the US in 1946. In 1947 the two countries signed the Military Bases Agreement allowing the US to keep military bases in the Philippines for a period of 99 years; this was finally overturned in 1991 and the bases were closed by 1992. However agreements signed in 1999 and 2014 allowed US troops to move freely through the Philippines and allowed the US government to build and operate military facilities.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a large archive of photographs likely belonging to—and likely with many taken by—an American soldier stationed in the Philippines. These were probably mainly taken in the 1930s as a photograph appears to show the Golden Gate Bridge under construction. Some are possibly from World War II as one photograph shows men standing on a ship under a large banner reading “CHINA BURMA INDIAâ€. However they are mostly unlikely to have been taken during the war as there is also a photograph of a pristine-looking Manila Central Post Office – the building was severely damaged during the fighting against the Japanese in the Battle of Manila and was rebuilt in 1946.<br /> <br /> In the archive are a mix of military photographs—generally of planes ships and life aboard them—and shots of Philippine life and scenery. One interesting scrapbook page places a photograph of a massive American steamer next to a shot of a wooden riverboat. Aboard the riverboat young Filipino boys pose and smile for the camera. The military shots emphasize the US’s outsized power: a man poses next to and is dwarfed by a seaplane; three men stand behind a chest-high pile of artillery; planes fly in formation straight overhead; men and women eat a lunch spread under the hulking wings of a plane parked on a lawn.<br /> <br /> The shots of Filipino life show the modernization of a largely agrarian society. On the one hand there are rice paddies huts with straw roofs plows and carts pulled by oxen. Women weave on large outdoor looms young people pose in traditional dress a smiling man stands wearing a loincloth and holding a spear and a circle of men and women dance around with drums. On the other hand a long line of cars is parked outside the Sunday market in Baguio men pose outside the Lanao Golf Club a train speeds by the camera and the neoclassical Manila Central Post Office watches over the wooden rowboats in the Pasig River. One set of photos shows penitents or magdarame performing the Good Friday practice of self-flagellation. As an audience looks on men in hoods many with crowns woven from plants whip themselves or are whipped. Though the Catholic Church in the Philippines discourages it these mortifications continue to be practiced to this day.<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of the Philippines’ American colonial period particularly for its documentation of ordinary Filipino life during this transitional time. unknown
