Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ten Months a Captive Among Filipinos: Being a Narrative of Adventure and Observation During Imprisonment on the Island of Luzon, P. I We reached Manila Bay on July 23d, finding that the first expedition had safely arrived, but as yet had commenced no operations against the Spaniards be sieged in the city by the native Insurgents. Bisem barking, the troops we had brought joined those of the first expedition, and together they formed an army of or more men. Then they took up their position outside the suburbs of Manila, beside the troops of Aguinaldo, who already had thrown up trenches opposite to those of the Spaniards. Often I was able to visit the camp, or the two camps, rather, for the Filipinos and Americans were encamped side by side; over the white tents of our soldiers fluttered the stars and stripes, over the ham boo huts of the Filipinos the unpretentious tricolor oi the new-born republic. Then, for the first time, I saw those people, with whom I was yet to be so closely associated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
