Official History of the Operations of the First Colorado Infantry, U. S. V.: In the Campaign in the Philippine Islands presents a concise, readable account of Colorado’s first volunteers as they trained, mobilized, and sailed for Manila.

This volume traces the regiment’s organization, rigorous inspections, and the mix of pride and challenge that marked their Philippine campaign.

From camp to voyage, you’ll follow a regiment formed from Colorado’s National Guard, the careful selection of recruits, and the days of welcome in San Francisco before embarking on the China and supporting ships. The narrative covers the first transport attempts, the measure of discipline, and the leadership that guided troops through a long sea voyage toward war’s theater in the Pacific.

How Colorado organized its volunteer infantry and balanced regional representation within the ranks.
Everyday life at Camp Adams, the San Francisco stay, and the meticulous medical and drill standards.
The embarkation process, the fleet’s formation, and the sense of mission on the voyage to Manila.
Key people, promotions, and biographical sketches tied to the campaign’s early months.

Ideal for readers seeking a firsthand, documentary-style glimpse of a state’s military contribution during the Spanish–American War and the Philippine campaign, told through period detail and clear chronology. This edition is a practical reference for history buffs and genealogists alike, offering a structured view of a pivotal chapter in Colorado’s military heritage.
