Admiral Dewey at Manila and the complete story of the Philippines: life, and glorious deeds of Admiral George Dewey including a thrilling account of our conflicts with the Spaniards and Filipinos in the Orient

This volume offers a contemporary account of the decisive Battle of Manila Bay (May 1, 1898) and the subsequent conflict in the Philippines, viewed through the lens of Admiral George Dewey's participation. Written by Joseph L. Stickney, who served as Admiral Dewey's aide, the work provides a firsthand narrative of the events, including the "conflicts with the Spaniards and Filipinos in the Orient." The book is a significant primary source reflecting American perspectives and war journalism from the turn of the 20th century, particularly its focus on "glorious deeds" and the illustration with photographs taken by the author "from the bridge of the flagship 'Olympia' during the battle." It stands as a key artifact for studying the period of American expansionism and the Philippine-American War.

The book is considered valuable. It is advised that researchers use digital copy rather than physical books for preservation purposes.
