| Summary | "From Yauco to Las Marias" by Karl Stephen Herrman is a historical account written in the late 19th century, specifically during the period surrounding the Spanish-American War (1898). The book narrates the experiences of the Independent Regular Brigade under Brigadier-General Theodore Schwan as they operate in Puerto Rico. The main topic explores the military campaign, detailing the challenges, engagements, and interactions between American troops and Puerto Rican citizens during this transitional time in the island's history. In this narrative, Herrman recounts the journey of the brigade as they advance through Puerto Rico, facing both physical hardships and combat. The regiment encounters various towns and terrains, engages in key battles such as Hormigueros and Las Marias, and interacts with the local populace, whose attitudes vary from distrust to enthusiastic support. The author highlights the camaraderie among the soldiers, their determination in battle, and the logistical struggles they face. Through vivid descriptions of the encounters and the local culture, Herrman provides a firsthand perspective on the complexities of military life during wartime, illustrating both the realities of combat and the spirit of the soldiers involved in the campaign.
