This book is a compilation of firsthand accounts and official reports relating to the Spanish-American War of 1898. It includes prominent narratives such as Admiral Dewey's report on the Battle of Manila, Admiral Schley's account of the Naval Battle at Santiago, and stories from the Battles of La Quasina, El Caney, and San Juan. Authored by U.S. Congressman and former clerk of the Senate, Hon. James Rankin Young, in collaboration with newspaper correspondent J. Hampton Moore, the work aims to celebrate the efforts of American service members ("Returned Heroes") and provide the public with a "graphic account" of the conflict's major events, including the capture of Manila and the sinking of the Merrimac. The book serves as a primary source for understanding the patriotic sentiment and public perception of the war at the turn of the 20th century.
