Summary: "The Great Round World and What Is Going On In It, Vol. 2, No. 23, June 9, 1898" is a weekly newspaper for boys and girls, published by The Great Round World Publishing Company during the late 19th century. This publication falls into the category of children’s journalism, aimed at educating and informing young readers about current events and significant issues of the time. Given the date, the content likely reflects the social and political climate surrounding the Spanish-American War, which was a pivotal moment in U.S. history. In this particular issue, the newspaper provides updates on various wartime developments, including American and Spanish military activities, troop mobilizations, and innovations in warfare technology, such as the use of balloons and kites for reconnaissance and offensive purposes. It discusses the ongoing blockade of Cuba, reports losses on both sides, and highlights volunteer enlistments to bolster the U.S. military effort. Additionally, it touches on broader international matters, including neutral countries' positions and economic issues related to the war, showcasing how global circumstances were interlinked with local events, particularly in the context of the emerging U.S. presence on the world stage.
