Campaigning in the Philippines

This volume, Campaigning in the Philippines, by Karl Irving Faust, was published in 1899 by The Hicks-Judd Company in San Francisco. Its publication date places it at the very onset of the Philippine-American War (February 1899 – 1902). The book served as one of the earliest American, comprehensive, and heavily illustrated accounts of the U.S. military operations immediately following the Spanish-American War, compiled from multiple sources and official reports. The general historical narrative by Faust is often followed by a specific regimental history, such as the operations of the First Regiment, California U.S. Volunteer Infantry, written by Charles R. Detrick. This book, a primary source detailing the military actions that enabled this colonial transition, holds significant historical relevance as it documents the turbulent environment and American perspective of the era in which Silliman University was established as the first American institution of higher learning in the Philippines.

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