Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a rich treasury of poetry narrating the experiences and observations of a United States Regular Army private serving in the Philippines during the Philippine Insurrection of 1899-1902.

Through vivid imagery and poignant language, the poems explore themes of camaraderie, sacrifice, and the clash of cultures. Divided into four parts, the collection includes American army ballads, reflective verses, poems on various subjects, and a long narrative poem exploring the encounter between a Western ethnographer and the headhunter culture of the Dyak people of Borneo. With unflinching honesty and compassion, the author paints a vivid portrait of the human toll of war, while also celebrating the resilience and spirit of the American soldier.
