Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of the Committee of the Massachusetts Reform Club: Appointed to Collect Testimony in Relation to the Spanish-American War, 1898-1899 The Massachusetts Reform Club, at the meeting held Oct. 14, 1898, adopted the following resolution: - Resolved, That the Massachusetts Reform Club shall appoint through its President a committee of five, to be known as the "War Investigation Committee." and to consist, if possible, of two military men. two lawyers, and one business man, and that such committee shall undertake the work, so far as possible, of collecting evidence regarding the conduct of military affairs during the recent war with Spain. Resolved, That the Treasurer of the Club be authorized to pay to said committee, upon its written order, a sum not exceeding $500 from the treasury of the Club. This resolution was proposed in consequence of the prevalent feeling that there was to be an investigation by a Congressional Committee, independent of the investigation by the Commission appointed by the President. It was suggested that the Massachusetts Reform Club, a non-partisan organization, seeking improvements in all departments of the public service, might well undertake to collect testimony from participants in the war, while their experiences were fresh in mind, for submission to a Congressional Committee when it should be appointed. The President of the Club appointed as the Club Committee Colonel Charles R. Codman, of Boston, formerly of the Forty-fifth Massachusetts Volunteers; Corporal James B. Gardner, of Boston, formerly of the Forty-fourth Massachusetts Volunteers; and Messrs. Samuel Bowles, of Springfield; Robert S. Gorham, of Newton; and Charles Warren, of Dedham. Colonel Codman was elected Chairman, and Mr. Warren Secretary of the Committee. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
