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.
