Description

From the Introduction

The Spanish American War is a most interesting "little" war for the miniatures gamer. Machine guns, smokeless powder, barbed wire, dynamite guns, magazine rifles, and all sorts of exciting items first came to the attention of the American public in this war, while war correspondents became public figures as they covered the war in detail. It is also the war that would cause the formation of the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry, a most interesting amalgamation of western frontiersmen, Indians, and eastern dudes, all drawn together by the personal magnetism of the former Assistant Secretary of the Navy and future President, one Theodore Roosevelt. It was the war that would serve as the introduction of the United States onto the world stage, and make the 20th Century the "American Century".
