From Yorktown To Santiago: With The Sixth U. S. Cavalry (1900) is a historical account written by William Harding Carter. The book chronicles the experiences of the Sixth U.S. Cavalry during the Spanish-American War, from their involvement in the Battle of Yorktown to their final victory at Santiago de Cuba. Carter was a member of the Sixth U.S. Cavalry and served as a captain during the war. He provides a first-hand account of the battles and skirmishes that the regiment participated in, as well as the daily life of a soldier during the war. The book begins with an overview of the events leading up to the war and the mobilization of troops. It then follows the Sixth U.S. Cavalry as they are sent to Virginia to participate in the siege of Yorktown. Carter describes the challenges of fighting in the swamps and forests of Virginia and the bravery of the soldiers in the face of enemy fire. The book then moves on to the regiment's involvement in the Battle of Las Guasimas, where the Sixth U.S. Cavalry played a crucial role in the American victory. Carter provides a detailed account of the battle, including the tactics used by both sides and the bravery of individual soldiers. The final section of the book focuses on the regiment's participation in the Siege of Santiago de Cuba. Carter describes the challenges of fighting in the tropical environment and the bravery of the soldiers in the face of disease and enemy fire. He also provides insight into the political and strategic considerations that shaped the American campaign in Cuba. Overall, From Yorktown To Santiago: With The Sixth U. S. Cavalry (1900) provides a valuable historical account of the Spanish-American War from the perspective of a soldier on the front lines. It is a must-read for anyone interested in military history or the history of the United States in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
