1898112787Philadelphia: Globe Bible Publishing 1898. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7 in to 9 in Tall. Two great boks in one volume. Decorated hardcover no dust jacket. 569 pages. Illustrated. THE HISTORY of the world is largely a history of wars. Whether or not it is true that civilization gets forward upon a powder-cart it is undeniable that the powder-cart keeps well up with the procession. The present work is a record of two wars closely associated together and both making especially direct appeal to the sympathies of the American people. It was in a war that our own freedom and in- dependence were won. We cannot then regard with indifference the much longer and not less heroic struggles of Cuba for the same great bless- ings. They have been conducted almost within sight of our own shores and have materially affected our own interests. They cannot be forgotten while liberty is loved or valor appre- ciated. Neither can the story of them told as it is in this volume in hot blood directly from the field of suffering and strife and triumph be other than fascinating to the student or to the patriot. It had been the lot of this country to wage three great wars before the present. The first was for independence. The second was for sovereign rights in equality with all other nations. The third was for the preservation of the Union. All three were gloriously successful both in the triumph of our arms and in the establishment of the principles for which they were waged. <br/> <br/> Globe Bible Publishing hardcover
