Americans in the Philippines

This document, titled Americans in the Philippines and published by the U.S. Government Printing Office in 1900, is a primary source from the early American colonial period in the Philippines. The date places its publication immediately following the Spanish-American War and the start of the Philippine-American War, a time of intense political and military transition. Its presence in the Silliman University Library (in Dumaguete City, Philippines) is highly significant, as Silliman University itself was established in 1901 by American Presbyterian missionaries. The document provides historical context for the American presence and mindset that led to the establishment of institutions like Silliman and shaped the cultural, political, and educational landscape of the Philippines throughout the 20th century.

The book is considered valuable. It is advised that researchers use digital copy rather than physical books for preservation purposes. 437 pages : illustrations ; tables ; maps Author/Creator United States.
