Service Honest and Faithful: The Thirty-Third Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the Philippine War, 1899-1901. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2017, 269 pp., bibliography, 72 primary resources, 97 secondary resources. This manuscript is a study of the Thirty-Third Infantry, United States Volunteers, a regiment that was recruited in Texas, the South, and the Midwest and was trained by officers experienced from the Indian Wars and the Spanish-American War. This regiment served as a front-line infantry unit and then as a constabulary force during the Philippine War from 1899 until 1901. While famous in the United States as a highly effective infantry regiment during the Philippine War, the unit's fame and the lessons that it offered American war planners faded in time and were overlooked in favor of conventional fighting. In addition, the experiences of the men of the regiment belie the argument that the Philippine War was a brutal and racist imperial conflict akin to later interventions such as the Vietnam War.

ALTHERR IN ITS WASHINGTON COLUMN of 27 January 1901, the New York Times informed its public that the "demand upon Congress for new public parks, National in character, has been increased by one that will strike many persons as possessing peculiar attractiveness. Mr. Lacey has reported a bill to provide for the setting aside of a 'Cliff Dwellers' National Park' in New Mexico."1 Two months earlier, the Santa Fe New Mexican had alerted its readership to this develop­ ment: "A movement has been on foot for some time to have the region set aside as a national park and the ruins preserved for future scientific study."2 Both papers referred to the beginning ofa twenty­ year campaign to create a national park on the Pajarito Plateau northwest of Santa Fe. This effort eventuated in the establishment ofBandelier National Monument in 1916, but failed to win national park status for the larger surrounding area.
