Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Martial Graves of Our Fallen Heroes in Santiago De Cuba Every sentiment of patriotism. Justice and generosity cried out against such a result. Our hearts were burdened with care for the living. The sick and wounded demanded first thought. But in our great, wealthy and prosperous republic it seemed to the writer that there was enough and more than enough ol in uence. Activity and money to create and preserve inviolate a soldiers' cemetery for the fallen heroes of the rmv of Santiago, if it were not found practicable to remove the remains to their native land. It was his thought that plots of the battlefield should at once be prepared on which every grave should be duly located: and that proper markers should be sent out on which the names of the fallen should be plainly painted. With a view to maintaining the identity until more substantial head boards could be erected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
