RARE 1899 ILLUSTRATED US ARMY NAVY HISTORY CD


An ARCHIVAL CD ROM--of a rare old 241 page bound volume,
Lt. Col Arthur L. Wagner and Com. J. D. Jerrold Kelley, THE UNITED STATES ARMY AND NAVY. Akron OH, The Werner Company, 1899. 43 Color Plates,; 241 p.; The Country's Defensive Forces in War and Peace. Their Histories from the Era of the Revolution to the Close of the Spanish-American War, with Accounts of their Organization, Administration and Duties. With appendices enumerating the principal ships of the U. S. Navy.

BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED history of American wars from Revolution through the Spanish American War, with 25 FULL-COLOR LITHOGRAPHS OF ARMY SCENES AND 18 OF NAVAL SCENES: battles, uniforms, landscapes, warships, artillery. Army history written by Lt. Col. Wagner; Navy history written by Commander Kelley.

The Werner Company of Akron was at the forefront of new developments in printing technology at the end of the 19th century. Chromolithographic color plates depict the uniforms of officers and non-commissioned officers and the changes to the uniform through time for both Army and Navy, 1776-1899. Appendices enumerating the principal ships of the United States Navy, their batteries and armor, and official reports of the Battle of Manila and the action off Santiago De Cuba. Much on the Indian Wars including four full-color lithographs depicting the U.S. Army either attacking or being attacked by Indians. One full color lithograph entitled "U.S. Army - Custer Massacre At Big Horn, Montana - June 25, 1876," was prepared especially for this publication and does not appear elsewhere. Also much on the Spanish-American War including full reports of activities. At the back is a complete list of ships of the U.S. Navy, including specifications on batteries, armor, engines, and date of launching.

Relatively few copies of this book have survived intact over the years, largely due to its size and the overwhelming temptation to break up the book to gain the colorful plates.

The FORTY THREE magnificent chromolithograph illustrations look great on the computer screen and each page can be MAGNIFIED.
