An Illustrated History of our War
With Spair.
By Hon. IL. b. Russell, Senator Proctor,
and Senator Thurston.

BY Hon. II. Il. Russell, Senator Proctor.
and Senator Thurston.
This Observation-Disclosures, richly
filled, and scholarly volume gives
complete and authentic history of the
Spanish American War from its begin
ming to its close. Its authors are three
widely-known men, Hon. Henry B..Rus-
sell, the distinguished historian, lion.
Redfield Proctor, Senator from Vermont
and ex-Secretary of War, and Hon.
John NJ Thurston, Senator from Ne
braska.
The subject naturally divides itself
into two parts |. How we got into the
war with Spain; and ii. How we got
ont of it and with what results.
| This volume tells the whole story,
makes clear all the causes of action that
led up to and eliminated in the conflict,
gives pen pictures of those who figured
in it, and relates many exciting Incl
dents, brave deeds, and thrilling adven-
lures connected with the struggle. The
muttorings of the distant war cloud, the
Indignation and uprising of the whole
people, North and South, when the vet
Grams of the Blue and the veterans of
the Gray took their places side by side
behind the same flag, the departure of
fleets of powerful modern warships, the
march of hostile armies, the strife and
carnage of battle on land and sea, the
deeds of valor and heroic sufferings of
our gallant soldiers and sailors in field
and hospital, all are portrayed with con-
summatc skill.
Every event is placed in chronological
order, and the fullest and most authoi-
itative statistics are given. AS might
be expected from the high positions
filled by its distinguished authors, the
war and navy departments and other
branches of the government extended
every possible aid TO make this volume
not only standard and official history
of the war, but the most complete, we'll
rounded, and elaborate record of the
struggle that will probably ever be
written. No three living American
writer's could more fitly assume this re-
sponsible task or produce more hon
est, truthful, and impartial book. Their
entire familiarity with the political his
tory of the country, their fund of statis-
teal information, their independence
and fearlessness, all guarantee that this
work is one of more than ordinary val
ne. 1t presents deeper, broader,
more exhaustive exhibit of the long train
of causes which eliminated in the con-
fict than can be found in any other work.
1t is the most ample, brilliant, and read
able book that the war has called forth.
1t is not only ricn in historical informa-
ton, but us instructive in its method of
presentation as it is fascinating in mar
rativc. 1t is, in our opinion, the only
book that rises to the dignity of a real
history of the Spanish-American conflict.
1t needs no better introduction to the
eighty millions of American freemen
than the names of its three illustrious
authors.
The magnificent illustrations include
a series of seven superb steel-plate por
traits of President Mckinley (from Il
photograph approved by himselD, Cen
eral Miles, Shafler, and Merritt, and
Admirals Dewey, Sampson. and Schley.
1t is worthy of note that these are the
only steel-plate portraits of these famous
men ever published. 1t also contains
colored and elaborate maps, showing in
great detail Cuba, the Philippines. Por
to Rico, the Hawaiian Islands, etc.
There are, besides II large number of
to illustrate battles, campaigns, naval
operation ere. There is also 80 magni-
fcent full-page illustrations. In the
preparation of these maps, tcel-plates
and illustrations no expense or pains
have been spared to make them all that
art, skill and talent could produce. In
no other history of the war can anything
even approaching them be found.
1t is worth more than all other books
and manuals on this subject, for in none
of them nor in them all combined can
be found so much solid information as
this thoroughly standard high-class
book contains, which has, in addition,
many beautiful illustrations and the in
cstimable value of being truthful. Ill
we speak warmly of this book, it is be-
cause it is richly worth all the praise
that can be bestowed upon it.
The book is sold only by agents, and
is published by the Old and reliable firm
of A. ID. Worhineton u Co., Hartford.
Conn, whose imprint is sufficient guar
antee of the excellence of this first class
volume. Mrs. Walter LcBarron of
