Record Of Proceedings Of A Court Of Inquiry V1, Part 1: In The Case Of Rear-Admiral Winfield S. Schley, U. S. Navy (1902) is a historical document that presents the official record of the proceedings of a court of inquiry held in 1901 to investigate the conduct of Rear Admiral Winfield S. Schley during the Spanish-American War. The book is part one of a two-volume set that includes the complete transcripts of the court proceedings, as well as exhibits, letters, and other relevant documents.The court of inquiry was convened to determine whether Schley had acted appropriately during the Battle of Santiago de Cuba in July 1898, and whether he deserved credit for the victory that was largely attributed to Admiral William T. Sampson. The court was also tasked with investigating allegations of insubordination and other misconduct against Schley.The book provides a detailed account of the testimony given by witnesses, including Schley himself, as well as the cross-examination by the prosecution and defense. The proceedings are presented in a question-and-answer format, with the questions asked by the members of the court and the answers given by the witnesses.In addition to the transcripts, the book includes an introduction that provides background information on the court of inquiry and the controversy surrounding Schley's conduct during the war. The introduction also discusses the legal and procedural aspects of the court of inquiry.Overall, Record Of Proceedings Of A Court Of Inquiry V1, Part 1: In The Case Of Rear-Admiral Winfield S. Schley, U. S. Navy (1902) is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of the Spanish-American War and the role of the U.S. Navy in that conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
