Abstract:
Letters sent by James Ryan, aboard the USS Monitor Monadnock and then the USS Don Juan de Austria (a captured Spanish vessel), to his aunt in New York concerning battles against the Philippine insurgency. The death of Harry Lawton affected Ryan deeply. The Monadnock was eventually sent to Hong Kong for repairs, and Ryan was redeployed aboard the Don Juan de Austria and bore witness to the Boxer Rebellion. Afterward, Ryan moved around the southwest Pacific, primarily sailing between Canton and Cebu. Partial geographical list: Manila (Philippines), Manila Bay, Cebu (Philippines), Binghamton (N.Y.), Hong Kong (China), Canton (China).
