Two American soldiers recount the 1902 expedition against the Moros of Lake Lanao on Mindanao, from the first advance and the opening of hostilities to the storming of the forts at Bayan and later skirmishes. A sentimental poem on a soldier’s death opens the book, and the narrative reflects entirely the attitudes of the American troops toward the people they fought.
