Davis account of 1.-THE Rough Riders
Fight at Guasimas." There is no in
formation at secondhand in this arti-
Gle; Mr.. Davis was in the thick of the
fight and writes of what he saw. When
he crushes, once for all, the story of
a surprise, he does it with pos
tive knowledge of the previous orders
given and received by General Wheeler
and Colonel Wood. The conversations
he had with the men in the fight are
vivid bits of dramatic dialogue. The
whole article is the fullest as well as
the most thrilling account of the Qua
simas fight yet published, and will
stand as the historical picture of that
famous event. The illustrations give
many of the best known men in the
Rough Riders, and views of the coun-
try over which they fought. There
are also drawings from life by the ar
fist II. G. Cristy, who was there.
