Excerpt from The Porto Rico of to-Day: Pen Pictures of the People and the Country
In the preparation of this book, it has not been the purpose of the writer to produce a guide-book, an economic treatise, or a hand-book of military science. Yet all these, and other topics, are treated with more or less fulness in its pages. The work is based upon a series of letters furnished to The Evening Post of New York, during the months of August, September, and October, 1898, which have been revised and amplified for this purpose. As a correspondent for that paper, the writer accompanied one of the first detachments of the army of invasion to Porto Bico, and remained on the island until after the conclusion of the campaign by the raising of the American flag over the city of San Juan, on October 18th. The purpose of this book then is to present a picture of the people and of the country as the author saw them, and to throw light upon the commercial possibilities in our new possession that lie within the reach of American business men.
