Excerpt from Report of the Santiago Campaign, 1908
No introduction of Colonel Wagner is necessary. As an author of known reputation on military subjects and as one of the pioneers in promoting professional study in the Army, his name is not only well known in military circles, but to the general public as well. The report herein printed was sent us, with other papers, by his widow for publication, and, though ten years have elapsed since the stirring events described in the report transpired, we take great pleasure in publishing it, not only because of our high regard and friendship for Colonel Wagner, but because it seems to us that the publication will be of great benefit to the Army.
From this report it appears that a Bureau of Military Information in the Field was established by the Commanding General of the Army and placed under charge of Colonel Wagner. Under his instructions Colonel Wagner proceeded to Cuba, but for reasons shown in the report was unable to organize the Bureau or to accomplish any useful work in connection therewith.
