Crane went to Cuba in 1898 as a war correspondent, and these stories and sketches came from what he saw there. Regulars cut a road up a hillside before battle, a correspondent makes a lone charge, marines signal under fire at Guantanamo, and soldiers endure heat, fever and Mauser bullets in a war he describes without glory.
Published the year he died, the last war writing of the author of The Red Badge of Courage. Download the free EPUB.
