San Francisco, H.H. Stratton, 1902. , Original brown cloth with title in black on front cover, 8 x 5.75 inches, 160 photo plates, color map . Very good; quite clean and unworn. On verso of title page is the publisher's announcement: "Soldiers, Attention! This book contains 160 views of scenes in the Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Hawaiian Islands, and scenes relating to soldiers; also a map of the Philippine Islands, a certificate for the soldier to fill in the date of his enlistment, discharge and incidents connected with the service. It is arranged that he can place his own picture on the inside of the cover so nicely as to hardly show that it was not originally printed there. . etc." This copy does not have the certificate described above. Mounted to the inside of the front cover is a photo montage of soldiers, ship, cannonballs, etc. The front free endpaper is of different stock than the rear free endpaper and is mounted to a stub.
