Foreword
In this the 100th anniversary of the Spanish-American War, the History an
d
Museums Division decided to take another look at this so-called "Splendid Littl
e
War" which had such large implications, not only for the nation at large, but als
o
for the Marine Corps
. Rather than another history, the Division decided to mak
e
available in one volume some of the rich historical literature about the Marin
e
participation in the war
. This anthology, like almost all of the works publishe
d
by the History and Museums Division, is the result of a team effort
. Dr . Jac
k
Shulimson, who heads the History Writing Unit, selected the articles and mad
e
the necessary revisions
. Ms
. Wanda Renfrow of the History Writing Unit cop y
edited the material and prepared the text for printing
. Ms
. Evelyn Englander, th e
librarian of the History and Museums Division, and Lieutenant Colonel Davi
d
Kelly, USMCR, a member of Marine Corps Reserve Individual Mobilizatio
n
Augmentee Detachment, prepared the selected bibliography of the war and col-
lected most of the illustrations
. Lieutenant Colonel Kelly also prepared the chro-
nology and listing of the Medal of Honor recipients
. Air Force Academy Cade
t
First Class Craig Prather assisted in the preparation of the chronology and par-
ticipated in the final review .
While the editors altered none of the text in the published articles to confor
m
with division guidelines, they made certain stylistic revisions for clarity in som
e
of the unpublished material
. Because of their length, both the Commandant's An-
nual Report for 1898 and James Holden-Rhodes' chapter on the Spanish
-
American War were much condensed
.
The editors are indebted to the personnel of the Editing and Design section
,
Mr . Robert E
. Struder, Mrs . Cathy A
. Kems, and Mr . W
. Stephen Hill for thei r
assistance and advice in the final preparation
.
