About as (un)exciting as the Sampson-Schley Controversy itself (in short: many (including Schley) felt Schley was responsible for winning the Battle of Santiago; Sampson, as the ranking and commanding officer, felt otherwise). Still, it's interesting to see how timely this was (it came out in September of 1901, the same month Schley requested a court of inquiry on the matter); and also that the catalog offers the dissolve transitions as a selling point.
