Hard Cover. Condizione: Very Good+. 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. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
