Cannon and Camera is a historical account of the Spanish-American War, specifically focusing on the battles that took place in Cuba. Written by John C. Hemment, a journalist and photographer who covered the war for several American newspapers, the book provides a detailed and vivid description of the conflict from both a military and civilian perspective. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of the war. The first section describes the naval battles that took place off the coast of Cuba, including the famous Battle of Santiago de Cuba. Hemment provides a detailed account of the action, describing the ships involved, the tactics used, and the casualties suffered by both sides. The second section of the book focuses on the land battles that took place in Cuba, including the famous battles of El Caney and San Juan Hill. Hemment describes the terrain, the tactics used by the American and Spanish forces, and the heroism of individual soldiers. The third section of the book provides a glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers who fought in the war. Hemment describes the conditions in the camps, the food and supplies provided to the soldiers, and the medical care available. He also provides a detailed account of the return of the soldiers to the United States, including their reception by the public and their experiences in hospitals and rehabilitation centers. Throughout the book, Hemment includes numerous photographs that he took during the war. These images provide a valuable visual record of the conflict, capturing the devastation of battle, the heroism of soldiers, and the daily life of the troops. Overall, Cannon and Camera is a valuable historical document that provides a detailed and engaging account of the Spanish-American War. Hemment's firsthand experience as a journalist and photographer gives the book a unique perspective, and his vivid descriptions and photographs bring the conflict to life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
