Holograph essay, on the use of hot-air balloons in the Spanish-American war (1898-1899). (note: ICJ identifies the title event as "the Civil War of 1861-1865," based upon reference in text to the "civil war." Additional references to Spanish involvement and also to events after 1895, link it to the later war.) Bound in gray buckram.
