Chapter 33By 1902, the insurrection in the Philippines, as
Washington called it, was finished. However, the detritus of the
war remained in the consciences of many Americans for several
years, thereafter. Of course, just twelve years later, another
considerably larger struggle in Europe called the Great War pushed
the fracas in the Philippines into the obscure fog of history where
it remained ignored and eventually forgotten.
For the first nine months of 1902,
Katharina, Anna Marie, and I lived a relatively routine life. I
continued to work as managing editor of the Globe, Anna
Marie slid agreeably, for the most part, into her teenage years,
and Katharina published a personal history of America’s involvement
in the Philippines.
Katharina’s 1902 book was not flattering to
