Summary: "History of the Gatling Gun Detachment, Fifth Army Corps, at Santiago" by John H. Parker is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The work details the formation, experiences, and contributions of the Gatling Gun Detachment during the Santiago campaign in the Hispano-American War, focusing on the challenges and successes faced by this small but pivotal unit in battle. At the start of the memoir, Parker sets the stage with a dedication to the enlisted men of the detachment, expressing admiration for their bravery and hard work. He outlines the challenges of organizing a Gatling gun battery in a grim military climate, highlighting initial skepticism about the utility of machine guns in warfare. Parker narrates the short-lived campaign, sharing vivid anecdotes about the detachment's preparations and operations at Tampa prior to deployment. The narrative reflects on the evolution of military strategies and emphasizes the significance of the Gatlings in altering perceptions of modern warfare, as Parker recounts moments of exhilaration and fear during combat, all while building anticipation for the battles that lay ahead.
