The kids gave me The Boys of '98 by Dale L. Walker for Christmas and I finished it last week. Very satisfactory. A very straightforward telling of the story of the Rough Riders and Spanish-American war of 1898. Regrettably the book is out of print.
Plenty of quotes and insights which I'll post over the next few days. It captures a very different America, a couple of generations out from the Civil War and ready to take the world stage but still largely an agrarian society.
Recommended.
