Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a descriptive overview of the history, geography, and social and economic conditions of the Philippines. The author, an American appointed to a high-level position in the Philippines public service during the early 1900s, was well-situated to provide a unique perspective on the country, its people, and its complex relationship with the United States. His experiences working in the American colonial government contribute a unique insight. The book covers a wide range of topics, from detailed descriptions of the Philippines' many islands and their climates, environments, natural resources, and agricultural products to a history of the archipelago from the pre-Spanish era through the arrival of the United States. The book includes chapters on the Spanish colonial period, Filipino nationalism, the Philippine-American War, the establishment of American colonial rule, and the various efforts to educate Filipinos and prepare them for eventual independence. The author's narrative is full of vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes, bringing to life the historical events and social conditions of the time.
