First edition, first printing, familial association copy, with the ownership signature of the author's daughter Helen Daggett Patterson (1881-1970) on the front free endpaper. Patterson subsequently passed this copy to Trevor Washington Swett Jr, a US Army colonel; his ownership inscription is below her signature. Aaron Daggett (1837-1938) was appointed brivet brigadier general by Andrew Johnson in February 1866, having served with distinction during the Civil War. Following service in the Indian Wars and the Spanish-American War, he was appointed brigadier general in the regular army in 1900, leading the 14th Infantry Regiment during the Boxer Rebellion. By his death, he was the last surviving high-ranking officer to have fought on the Union side. His account describes American and allied troop movements in China, as well as day-to-day experiences of battle and the conduct of key officers. 25 appendices reproduce some of the despatches and general orders issued by US forces in Beijing reporting on progress and commending acts of bravery. Colonel Swett's (1925-2011) inscription reads: "Trevor W. Swett. Given to me by Mrs Patterson, daughter of the author, General Daggett. He lived in our community". Swett served in Korea and then in Vietnam, where he commanded an air mobile battalion and was awarded the Silver Star.
