Frontline memories from a western Puerto Rico campaign
A brigade memoir of combat, command, and daily life follows the Independent Regular Brigade as it marches, fights, and camps from Yauco to Las Marias in 1898. The narrative centers on General Schwan’s command and offers a veteran view of how regular army soldiers lived, fought, and bonded under fire. The book frames the campaign in practical detail, from the march and skirmishes to the aftermath and leadership. It contrasts the regulars with volunteers and dives into the rhythms of a mobile war, capturing the grit, discipline, and quiet resolve of soldiers in the field. Through personal anecdotes and battlefield accounts, the reader gains a grounded sense of what the campaign required and what it meant to those who served.
