Everything about Our New Possessions: Being a Handy Book on Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines (1899)

Thomas Jondrie Vivian,Ruel Perley Smith

""Everything About Our New Possessions"" is a comprehensive guidebook written by Thomas Jondrie Vivian in 1899. The book provides a detailed account of the four territories that the United States had recently acquired - Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines. The author covers a wide range of topics, including the history, geography, climate, culture, and economy of each territory. The book is divided into four sections, one for each territory, and each section is further divided into chapters that cover specific topics. For example, the section on Cuba includes chapters on the history of the island, its natural resources, agriculture, and the Cuban War of Independence. The section on Hawaii covers topics such as the Hawaiian monarchy, the geography of the islands, and the sugar industry. In addition to providing factual information, the author also offers his own opinions and observations about the territories. He discusses the potential for economic growth and development in each territory, as well as the challenges that the United States faced in governing them. Overall, ""Everything About Our New Possessions"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines, as well as the United States' role in their acquisition and governance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
