On July 1, 1898, the Rough Riders under Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and the Buffalo Soldiers of the 9th and 10th Cavalry charged up San Juan Heights in the face of withering Spanish rifle fire, capturing the heights that dominated Santiago de Cuba and sealing its fate. Roosevelt called it \"the great day of my life.\" The charge made him a national hero, launched his political career, and put him in the White House just three years later. The accompanying trench photographs show the Americans dug in on the captured heights โ€” a vivid document of the siege that forced Santiago's surrender on July 17. These are primary photographic documents of the moment that defined both the war and a presidency.\n\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\nโš”๏ธ THE BATTLE OF EL CANEY\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n\n๐Ÿ’ฅ FULL PAGE โ€” \"THE BATTLE OF EL CANEY\"\nPhotographs of the Battle of El Caney โ€” fought simultaneously with San Juan Hill on July 1, 1898, as General Lawton's infantry division assaulted the fortified village of El Caney, defended by just 520 Spanish soldiers who held off 6,600 Americans for nearly ten hours before being overwhelmed. The fierce resistance at El Caney gave Spanish forces time to reinforce their positions, and the battle became a cautionary lesson about underestimating entrenched defenders.

When Cervera's four armored cruisers and two destroyers attempted to break out of Santiago harbor, they were met by the North Atlantic Squadron's four battleships and two armored cruisers. Every Spanish ship was sunk or beached. Of Cervera's 2,227 men, 323 were killed and 151 wounded โ€” against one American killed and one wounded. It remains the most one-sided naval victory in American history. Combined with Dewey's destruction of the Spanish Pacific fleet at Manila Bay in May, Santiago ended Spain as a naval power and ensured American victory. Published three weeks after the battle, this centerfold is a primary document of the most decisive American naval engagement since the Civil War.\n\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ INSIDE THE ISSUE\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n\n๐Ÿšข FULL FRONT PAGE โ€” \"AN AMERICAN BATTLESHIP 'IN THE DAY OF BATTLE'\"\nA dramatic full front-page illustration of an American battleship in combat โ€” a powerful piece of Gilded Age naval art capturing the firepower that won the war.\n\n๐Ÿ“ธ FULL PAGES โ€” \"OPERATIONS AGAINST SANTIAGO\"\nAdditional photographic pages documenting the ongoing military operations against Santiago โ€” comprehensive primary visual documentation of the siege and its aftermath.\n\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n๐Ÿ“‹ CONDITION\nโ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”\n\nI photograph every page of every issue so you can inspect the condition closely before purchasing.
