Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Roughing It With the Regulars The Volunteer has been the recipient of so much eulogy, and so much has been written in relation to his virtues, sufferings and heroism, that I deem it only fair to ask him to share with his brother-at-arms, the Regular, a portion of the sweet smiles that have been bestowed on him by a fair minded and liberty loving people. This book is written for the purpose of telling the story of the faithful service of a troop of regular cavalry in Puerto Rico, and the experience of a raw recruit who finally graduated as one of Uncle Sam´s professional fighting machines. The Eleventh U.S. Infantry, Light Battery "D" Fifth Artillery, Light Battery "C" Third Artillery and Troop "A" Fifth U. S. Cavalry, composed the Independent Regular Brigade commanded by Brigadier-General Theodore Schwan. This constituted the western army of invasion in Puerto Rico and participated in two engagements and one skirmish, routing the enemy in each instance. As there was no regiment of Volunteers in the Brigade, no newspaper correspondents accompanied it; and, consequently, the achievements of this column were not chronicled in the press of the day; and in justice to my comrades, and in recognition of their patriotism, I present this volume which I hope will prove interesting to the reader.
