b. 1874
Best remembered for a firsthand account of the Spanish-American War, this Salem writer captured the daily realities of military service with clear, practical detail. His work remains most valuable as a local and regimental witness rather than a widely documented literary figure.

Twelve Months with the Eighth Massachusetts Infantry in the Service of the United States

About the author
Harry Endicott Webber was an American author from Salem, Massachusetts, identified in library and book records as having been born in 1874. He is known for writing Twelve Months with the Eighth Massachusetts Infantry in the Service of the United States, published in 1908, and Greater Salem in the Spanish-American War.
His best-known book is a regimental history of the Eighth Massachusetts Infantry during the Spanish-American War. Modern catalog and ebook records describe it as a firsthand account centered on the regiment's organization, training, deployment, and service, which helps explain why the book is still of interest to readers of military and local history.
Very little biographical information about him appears to be widely available online beyond basic catalog data and his published titles. Because of that, he is best introduced through the work itself: a careful chronicler of Massachusetts soldiers and the war experience they carried with them.
