Guam is a small island territory located in the Western Pacific Ocean, serving as a vital hub for US military forces in the region. The island is situated approximately 3,000 miles west of Hawaii and 1,500 miles east of the Philippines. It has a total land area of about 200 square miles, making it about three times the size of Washington D.C. Guam is known for its sandy beaches, clear waters, and scenic vistas. It features a tropical climate with an average temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year. The island has a rich history, dating back to over 4,000 years, with influences from Spain, Japan, and the United States. Guam has a population of approximately 170,000 individuals, with Chamorro being the indigenous people, and English being the official language. It has a diverse economy, with tourism, military, and federal government being the main contributors. Guam's strategic location in the Pacific Ocean strengthens its position as a hub for commerce and trade between Asia and America. The island has a unique blend of cultures, which is reflected in its food, art, and entertainment. Overall, Guam is a significant territory for the United States, both militarily and economically, and a highly sought-after destination for tourists worldwide.

This expansive history of Guam provides a rare look at the people and culture of this tiny, but strategically important Pacific Island. In a highly readable style author Beardsley—himself a sometime resident of Guam—introduces the reader to the island in three stages. Part One, "The Island in Profile," furnishes practical information on the geography, flora, fauna, aboriginal inhabitants, early culture, and legends of Guam. Part Two, "Discovery and Conquest," traces its history from the days of European exploration, beginning with Magellan's discovery of the island in 1521 and continuing down through the Spanish colonial period to the arrival of the Americans in 1898 following Spain's cession of Guam to the United States. Part Three, "Twentieth-Century Guam," is concerned with the island under U.S. administration and, during World War II, Japanese occupation; its recapture in 1944; its reconstruction and progress toward true territorial status; and its present-day position as a vital American outpost in the Western Pacific. Important and informative for resident and visitor alike, this enjoyable and attractively illustrated introduction to Guam also holds interest for the general reader who is susceptible to the lure of colorful events against equally colorful backgrounds.

Excerpt from The Island of Guam: With Map and 12 Illustrations The language appears to be intermediate between the Philippine and the Melanesian linguistic groups. Internal evidence, such as their use of the Sanscrit names for rice and the betel nut, tends to show that the ancient Chamorro race migrated from the Malay Archipelago later than the Polynesians, who took their departure before the introduction from India of either rice or betel nut. The ancient Chamorros were Malays. The present inhabitants are a very much mixed race, with the Malay strain predominating. The average native has a brown skin, straight black hair, dark eyes, oval jace, well-formed features, smooth' skin, prominent nose and lips, short stature (below that of Europeans), well-padded flesh but with no tendency to corpulency. The women are somewhat shorter than the men, are in general somewhat stronger, and, at least when young, have clearer light-brown complexions, with straight, well-oiled hair, which they do after the fashions prevailing in Manila.
