This is a ORIGINAL SCARCE ISSUE NOT A REPRINT RARE 1898 YANKEE DOODLE #08 Only 14 issues in the whole series !!! FEATURING General Shafter's attack on Santiago. "Yankee Doodle at The Siege of Santiago" or Scouting the Line for Shafter. Scarce, rare or just call it hard to come by they just aren't out there. Yankee Doodles are a glimpse of the American depiction of the Spanish - American war as it was being fought in a main stream (for the day) story paper. In several places it depicts Col. Roosevelt and General Shafter as a character in the story line. Dime novels are books with colorful covers with only text inside, though they look like comics they are not. The book has some age stains, small pieces missing along spine. Cover is attached in places but spine is mostly split from age. Still a rare find for this era. These issues are listing in Ebay for well over $125 and auctioned of at $200 or more. A great value from a motivated seller. We will be listing this collection over the next month. Another 45 issues of BBS and 165 issues of BBWs. Check out our Ebay store or web site. See Scan for complete details . (See Scan for compete details) On July 3, 1898, the same day as the naval battle, Major General William "Pecos Bill" Shafter began the siege of Santiago. Shafter fortified his position on San Juan Heights. General Henry W. Lawton's division moved up from El Caney extending the U.S. right flank to the north. To the northwest, Cuban rebels under the command of Calixto Garcia extended the U.S. line to the bay. General Arsenio Linares had been severely wounded at the Battle of San Juan Hill and was replaced by General Jose Toral. Toral had a good defensive position and Shafter knew he would sustain severe casualties from a frontal assault.This book is one of a large collection we are placing on our Ebay store of rarely available items and books.
