This was Published by the War Records office. his was NOT published for sale at book stores. There's even a page (see photo) that shows it was by subscription only to receive a copy of the book. I have take 12 photo's to be reviewed above, but I wish I could have shown more. It's really amazing. The book is an over sized book measuring 17.5" by 12.5" over 600 pages. The cover is in fair condition and the binding is loose in the front. The inside covers have a cloth covering. The pages are in very good shape, no marks or highlighting. This would be an excellent source of American-Spanish war historic data.If you're local, you can pick the item up and avoid shipping costs.
