The author was a commander of engineers in the Philippines and states in the first pages that this report is the result of nine months’ living with other military men among the indigenous people of Cordillera (Apayao area). First, a detailed description of the geography, its inhabitants, and their customs is presented. Next, a plan is offered to reduce them in settlements, and it is recommended that there be Ilocano immigration, already Christianized so that the Igorots can acquire a new way of life. It includes statistical tables about the expedition’s population and military and indicates the itinerary to be taken to cross the Sierra Madre through the north. The folded map of northern Luzon is beautiful and spectacular—extremely rare and valuable work.
