McCallusKent, Ohio :The Kent State University Press,2017.©20171 online resource1-60635-319-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.First encounters -- Heroes of the new frontier -- Brutality -- The good father -- The Pioneers' Club -- Conclusion."Forgotten under a Tropical Sun is the first examination of memoirs and autobiographies from officers and enlisted members of the Army, Navy, and Marines during the Spanish, Filipino, and Moro wars that attempts to understand how these struggles are remembered. It is through these stories that the American enterprise in the Philippines is commemorated. Arranged chronologically, beginning with veterans who recall the naval victory over the Spanish at Manila Bay in 1898 and continuing to the conventional and guerrilla wars with the Filipinos, the stories remember the major campaigns of 1899 and 1900, the blockade duties, and life in provincial garrisons. Finally, the lengthy (1899-1913) and often violent military governance in Moroland--the Muslim areas of Mindanao--is considered. Within these historical stages, Forgotten under a Tropical Sun looks at how the writers address incidents and issues, including accounts of well-known and minor engagements, descriptions of atrocities committed by both sides, and the effect on troop morale of the anti-imperialist movement in the United States."--Provided by publisher.VeteransPhilippinesBiographyVeteransUnited StatesBiographySoldiers' writings, AmericanPhilippinesHistory, Military20th centuryPhilippinesHistory, Military19th centuryMindanao Island (Philippines)HistoryAutonomy and independence movementsPersonal narratives, AmericanPhilippinesHistoryPhilippine American War, 1899-1902Personal narratives, AmericanVeteransVeteransSoldiers' writings, American.959.9032McCallus Joseph P.1611922MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819718103321Forgotten under a tropical sun3940404UNINA
