Summary "The Voyage of the Oregon from San Francisco to Santiago in 1898" by R. Cross is a firsthand narrative that falls under the category of historical account, likely written in the early 20th century. This book captures the experiences and events of the USS Oregon, a battleship of significant historical importance during the Spanish-American War, as it traveled from San Francisco to Santiago. The author, a member of the ship's crew, shares insights into life at sea and the logistical challenges faced during the voyage. In this engaging chronicle, R. Cross details the Oregon's journey beginning on March 19, 1898, highlighting the crew's activities, their encounters with rough weather, and preparations for possible confrontations with Spanish forces. The narrative chronicles key moments, such as coaling at Callao and Santiago, the excitement of approaching conflict, and the ultimate naval battles. Cross’s account vividly illustrates the camaraderie among the crew and their admiration for Captain Clark, reinforcing themes of loyalty and dedication amid the trials of war. The culmination of their efforts is revealed during the climactic confrontation with the Spanish fleet on July 3, 1898, marking a pivotal moment in naval history.
