First Edition. Octavo. 24cm. Publisher's ribbed maroon cloth, titled in gilt to spine. 180pp. Clean and bright, light bumping to spine ends, a little discoloration of the cloth here and there, a very good, handsome copy. Internally clean, discreet library label to front pastedown from East Windsor, CT. Some light, pale spotting to prelims and several areas within the text. Illustrated throughout with halftone full page plates, and in text drawings. A rather jingoistic account of the author's military career in the islands of the Pacific, beginning with the capture of Guam and the Phillipine-American War, through to the beginning of WW1. Cloman's distinguished military career had begun much earlier, one of its most notable points being that he was the young officer who mapped and surveyed the site of Wounded Knee immediately after the massacre, with his contribution being key to the official inquiry into the action, he also led a detachment of Indian Scouts out of Pine Ridge in 1891. He did a stint as Military Attache to London, travelled as an official observer of the Russian Army in Manchuria during the Russo-Japanese conflict, and served in the St. Mihiel Campaign in the Argonne during WW1. By the time of his death in 1925 he had accumulated the Croix de Guerre, Legion d'Honneur, a DSM, The Cross of St. Michael and St. George, The Order of Stanislaus of Russia, and the Order of Danilo of Montenegro, amongst others, before being posthumously promoted to Colonel in 1930.
