While the focus of this book is on the Regiment’s reception in Seattle upon its return from the Philippines, it includes this important brief account of the Regiment’s 11 battles against Aguinaldo’s rebels in Manila, “in the thickest of the fight”, from the start of the insurgency in January 1899 until the troops sailed for home in September - an account which apparently preceded the rare regimental history published in San Francisco.
