Summary "A Soldier in the Philippines" by Needom N. Freeman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This narrative provides a firsthand perspective on life as a private soldier in the U.S. Army during the Philippine-American War from 1898 to 1900, focusing particularly on the experiences of the author himself. Freeman shares insights into military life, the challenges faced by enlisted men, and the complex socio-political atmosphere surrounding the conflict between American forces and Filipino insurgents. The opening of the book introduces Needom Freeman and details his background, including his enlistment and early military training at Fort McIntosh. As he recounts his initial experiences with the Twenty-third United States Infantry, Freeman reflects on the hardships of army life, including grueling marches, strict discipline, and the camaraderie among soldiers. His narrative illustrates the transformative journey from a hopeful recruit to a soldier grappling with the realities of military service, hinting at the various encounters with both the harsh conditions of army life and the cultural landscape of the Philippines that will unfold in subsequent chapters.
