SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR OF 1898

BIBLIOGRAPHY ON SELECTED MANUSCRIPT COLLECTIONS
CONCERNING THE WAR IN GENERAL

This is one of four separate listings of Manuscript Division collections related to the Spanish-American War of 1898: Spanish-American War of 1898-General", "Spanish-American War of 1898-Cuban Theater", "Spanish-American War of 1898-Philippine Islands Theater", "Spanish-American War of 1898-Puerto Rican Theater". The contents of collections that pertain to more than one campaign are listed under "Spanish-American War of 1898-General" even though the activity of the individual, e.g., Theodore Roosevelt, has been identified usually with one campaign, e.g., Cuba. Those collections relating to Pacific islands, e.g., Marianas or Guam, appear in the Spanish-American War of 1898-Philippine Islands Theater" listing. Each item in this selected listing contains a brief indication of content; a more complete description for each entry is available by searching the Library of Congress Catalog.
