The little war of Private Post

the Spanish-American War seen up close

"Charles Johnson Post (1873-1956) received not one but two handmade red flannel bellybands for protection against tropical fevers when he enlisted as a private in 1898 with the Seventy-first New York Infantry. He was paid a monthly wage of $13.00, with an additional $1.30 combat pay per month.

Setting off for what he later termed "the little wars that are the mere trivia of history," he came back to write "a mild chronicle of many little men who were painting on a big canvas, and of their little epic routines of life, with a common death at their elbow. It is only the little, but keen, tribulations that made the epic routine of an old-fashioned war.""--BOOK JACKET.
