United States Army Headgear 1855-1902
Author: Edgar M. Howell
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Government publications
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
This volume brings the story of the evolution of headgear in the United States Regular Army from just prior to the Civil War to the opening of the modern era. Strongly influenced by French, British, and German styles, the U.S. Army tried and found wanting in numerous ways a number of models, and it was not until the adoption of the "drab" campaign hat in the early 1880s that a truly American pattern evolved. The European influence carried on until the 1902 uniform change, and, in the case of the "overseas" cap and chapeau, even beyond.--Provided by publisher.

The Spanish-American War and Philippine Insurrection
Author: Alejandro de Quesada
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1780963521
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
This book details the uniforms and weapons of the American, Spanish, Cuban and Filipino forces involved in the United States Army's first overseas war. In 1898 the USA took the decision to intervene in the Cuban war of independence against Spain, and to expel the last vestige of European colonial rule from the Americas. This also led to the US acquiring rule over the Philippine Islands; and there, US troops were sent into the jungle to fight a “colonial” war of their own, against Filipino insurgents unwilling to exchange one master for another. The text is illustrated with rare early photographs and color plates.
