1899021941Little Brown and Company: 1899. 360 pages with 79 b&w photographs. "The Spanish-American War of 1898 was the justification of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. The history of the 6th Massachusetts in the Spanish-American War is unique in that its campaign was almost a bloodless one the absence of battles and the few months it was in the field rendering its experiences different in kind and degree from those regiments which were in the Civil War almost as many years and even for its sister regiments in Cuba in '98. And while the following account is written with a full appreciation of the seemingly insuramountable difficulties overcome by the War Department in an incredibly short space of time in addition to the necessary hardships of army life and it not intended in any sense as a "lament" there is that to record of interest not only to the regiment itself but to its friends." VERY GOOD HARDCOVER brown illustrated covers. This book as two photographs tipped into the book. On the front blank endpaper "this photograph of Hazel W. Newton nice of Corporal Frank A. Haines was carried by him throughout his service in the Spanish War in 1898." In the back of the book there is a photograph of Corp. Frank A. Haines in uniform. Hard Cover.

Pamphlet side sewn lacking any wrappers or binding originally issued. 69 pp. Reprinted from the West Coast Reporter.

John Norton Pomeroy was an American lawyer and law professor and wrote many important text books and works on American law. Pomeroy helped develop the newly established Hastings College in California's law curriculum and served as their sole law professor. This helped him gain expertise in California law. GOOD condition.
