Paper booklet published in 1898 called Greater America. Dewey islands, Cuba, Puerto Rico by Neely educational library. There are 80 pages, all loose and almost all of them have chunks missing from the corners where it appears that mice may have feasted on this item over the years. Although in very poor condition, and I can’t be certain it is even complete, it is, nevertheless an excellent reference booklet for any student of any of the 3 theatres of the Spanish-American War. Each page contains one page-size photo of the War, military units, the life of the people, some very strange images. I considered keeping this for myself in order to use it to identify different American regiments, local towns, etc. M
