Summary

This untitled illustration by cartoonist Clifford Berryman, which appeared in the Washington Post on July 2, 1901, shows an undeserving Admiral William Sampson smiling up at Rear Admiral Winfield Schley, as he graces the front of the Santiago Medal that the Navy Department issued to commemorate Sampson's victory over the Spanish at the Battle of Santiago. Although absent from the battle, Sampson took credit for the victory and Admiral Schley, the real hero of the battle, went unrecognized.
