  • Seller image for [ANNUAL REPORT OF MAJOR GENERAL E.S. OTIS, U.S. VOLUNTEERS, COMMANDING DEPARTMENT OF THE PACIFIC AND EIGHTH ARMY CORPS, MILITARY GOVERNOR IN THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. With:] OFFICE OF CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER DEPT OF PACIFIC & 8th A.C. MAP OF THE OPERATIONS AGAINST MANILA AUG. 13, 1898. for sale by William Reese Company

    An excellent association copy of the scarce Manila printing of Military Governor E.S. Otis's report on the first year of the Philippine-American War, with a rare blueprint map of the capture of Manila. This copy was owned by Major General Thomas M. Anderson, commander of the assault on Manila which ended the Spanish-American War, as well as an officer in the Battle of Manila which kicked off the following year's conflict. Otis's report was submitted in August of 1899, and thus covers the year immediately following the capture of Manila from the Spanish, including the failed annexation, rapid breakdown of U.S.-Philippines relations, and reopening of hostilities. Despite the former allying with the Filipino revolutionary faction under Emilio Aguinaldo, who declared independence and drafted a constitution in late 1898, neither the Americans nor the Spanish recognized the independent islands in their negotiations for the end of the Spanish-American War, instead annexing the Philippines to the United States. The first few months of Otis's report largely focus on questions of muddled ownership, taxation, customs enforcement, and the legal rights of the American occupation. By November he already writes about efforts to suppress "seditious" Filipino newspapers, though the key turning point was the attempted landing of occupation forces at Iloilo in late December. The orders issued to Brig. Gen. Marcus Miller are printed here, stating that he is to be "conciliatory but firm" in his duty, noting that "a new provisional cabinet has been formed [in Manila], hostile to the American annexation.These men are closely watching the results of your expedition and greatly hope that you will be obliged to use force to gain Iloilo." In the tense weeks that followed, Aguinaldo and the Filipino government issued proclamations vowing to resist American pretensions of sovereignty with armed force if pushed, and the first casualties of the Philippine-American War were recorded when an American soldier opened fire on February 4, 1899. The reports in the present document paint a fascinating and detailed picture of the confused American response to the rapidly deteriorating relations with their former allies, and of similarly deteriorating attitudes: in the tone of their reports, officers plainly cease to view their adversaries as meek natives to be "civilized," describing them instead as untrustworthy and bloodthirsty savages after they refused to politely roll over. General Anderson, who in command of a sizable force at the beginning of the war, is mentioned a number of times in these documents. His name is often underlined or otherwise highlighted, such as a particularly noteworthy mention on p.163, when his unit was permitted to launch the first formal attack against Filipino forces on February 5. Accompanying this copy of Otis's reports is an impressive blueprint map of the 1898 capture of Manila, possibly handcolored by Anderson or the drafter himself. The map, prepared by Sergeant J.H. Watkins of the Signal Corps in October 1898, depicts the lines of American entrenchments, insurgent forces (allied with the Americans in this instance), and of course the Spanish. Special attention is paid to the challenging terrain, with symbols representing "Swamp (Rice and Overflow)," "Jungle (Bamboo and other Tropical Undergrowth)," roads, churches, and telegraph lines. Anderson is the first named commanding officer on the map, and the map's compilers were members of his unit. Thomas McArthur Anderson (18361917) was a lawyer at the outbreak of the Civil War, when he enlisted in the 6th Ohio Volunteer Infantry with the encouragement of his uncleRobert Anderson, the commanding officer of Fort Sumter. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel by 1864, and remained in the service. He was notably posted to Dyea, Alaska, at the beginning of the Klondike Gold Rush in 1898, before being promoted and given command of the first "Philippine Expeditionary Force" when war broke out with Spain. He landed on Luzon in June, played an instrumental role in the capture of Manila, and was still present for the first battle between Aguinaldo's government and American forces in 1899. He retired in January 1900, returning to his birth state to take charge of the Ohio Soldiers Home. A pair of rare and revealing documents, with important provenance. This first edition of Otis's reports, printed in Manila, is recorded at fewer than ten institutions on OCLC. It was printed with a wrapper title but no titlepage and was supplemented by a separately printed volume of appendices, not present here. Another edition, differently paginated and with an altered titlepage, was printed shortly afterwards in the Government Printing Office. A significantly smaller, non-blueprint version of Watkins's map is recorded at Yale and in the War Department Map Collection at the National Archives, but we locate no other copy of this larger (original?) blueprint version. OCLC 13196031, 68180445, 81872167, 237793063, 13196031, 68886550. Three-quarter blue diced russia and patterned black silk boards, spine gilt. Spine heavily sunned, corners rubbed. Manuscript note describing provenance on front free endpaper, occasional underlining and annotations in black or purple ink, else internally fine. Map trimmed unevenly but with ample margins on all sides, small closed tears and chips to edges, a few just into printed border.

Numbers refer to U.S. Army bases and other facilities ('reservations') listed at bottom-left, while red markers indicate the location of Y.M.C.A.s, including the main Army-Navy Y.M.C.A. in Intramuros, the city's historic center. City districts, such as Binondo, the 'world's oldest Chinatown,' and major public institutions, such as the distinctive Bilibid Prison complex (now the Manila City Jail), are indicated. Red text surrounds the map, advertising the goods of the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Store and Haberdashery. The verso includes a complete map of the Philippines, marking out Army-Navy Y.M.C.A. locations (often on military bases), along with basic information about the islands and a table of distances. As a whole, the map demonstrates the heavy presence of U.S. military personnel in the Philippines at the time, in part a legacy of U.S. colonialism, but more so a reaction to concerns about Japan's growing military threat to the islands, a threat which became apparent when Japan invaded only three years later. In February-March 1945, Manila was subjected to widespread destruction and devastation as Japanese troops desperately tried to hold back American and Filipino forces. The Burnham Plan for Manila Parts of Manila as seen here reflect the designs of Thomas Burnham, better known for his grand urban plans of cities in the continental U.S. (including his mostly unrealized plan for San Francisco). In 1904, Burnham developed a plan for the city on a commission from Governor-General William Howard Taft after spending only six weeks in the Philippines (he also designed the 'summer capital' of Baguio). Typical of his Beaux-Arts style, Burnham emphasized grand government buildings, wide boulevards, and public sanitation. The majority of Burnham's vision was not enacted, but elements were constructed, especially in Ermita District, including Burnham Green, just above the title. The Philippines Move Toward Independence This map was produced soon after the Philippines transitioned from a quasi-colonial government with an appointed American Governor to a relatively autonomous Commonwealth under Filipino elites. Although society was highly unequal, President Manuel L. Quezon (1878 - 1944) aimed to address inequalities with a range of policies, from land reform to infrastructure development and government involvement in industry. These measures were both popular and effective, spurring the Philippine GDP to grow steadily despite a weak global economy. Nonetheless, the Second World War sidelined many of Quezon's projects and the man himself died in exile before the war ended. Publication History and Census This map was published by the Army-Navy Y.M.C.A. in 1938, amended from a 1935 map produced by the U.S. Army. The only known example of this map in institutional collections is in the Richard Adlard collection at the Smithsonian Institution.

    1st Edition. Good. Wear along original folds. Some loss at junctions of folds. Several small tears professionally repaired. Text and images on verso. Size 18.75 x 16.5 Inches. A scarce folding city plan or map of Manila, the capital of the Philippines, prepared by Domingo de Jesus and published by J.M. Azucena Publishing in 1958. A Closer Look Presented in an interesting cyanotype style, with white against a blue background, districts are labeled throughout, including the historic walled city of Intramuros, as are streets, parks, railroad stations, and universities. United Nations Park, situated near south Manila Bay, is prominently illustrated, as is the U.S. Embassy, the University of the Philippines, and the Philippine General Hospital. Thirty-seven locations across the city are numerically identified and correspond with an index in the upper right corner. A photograph of the Monument of the National Hero of the Philippines, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, is printed in the lower right corner. The verso includes photographs of several locations identified on the recto, including the Legislative Building, City Hall, and the Army and Navy Club. The prominence of American military, diplomatic, and cultural institutions suggests the map may have been intended for American visitors and residents of the city. Rebuilding the 'Pearl of the Orient' Before World War II, Manila was a bustling, cosmopolitan city with impressive amenities, earning it the nickname 'the Pearl of the Orient.' However, World War II took a serious toll on the city. Although it was not heavily damaged by the Japanese invasion of late 1941 and early 1942, the Japanese fought tooth and nail to defend the city in early 1945. Manila was almost completely destroyed (only Warsaw saw worse destruction during the war), and at least 100,000 civilians were killed in the crossfire and a series of war crimes committed by Japanese troops. After a period of basic reconstruction, the city emerged from the horrific destruction of the war into a 'golden age' lasting from the 1950s to the 1980s. Three successive mayors - Arsenio Lacson, Antonio Villegas, and Ramon Bagatsing - are credited with ushering Manila through a period of rapid urbanization and economic growth, focusing on infrastructure and modernization, giving the city its modern form. Publication History and Census This map was prepared by Domingo D. de Jesus and published by J.M. Azucena Publishing. The present example is the first edition of the map, published in 1958. Additional editions were published in 1960, 1964, and 1967, all of which are quite rare. The OCLC only notes one example of this first edition, held by Pennsylvania State University, with later editions held by the Library of Congress, the National Library of Scotland, and the National Library of Australia.
