Moros Head Hunters Describe Brutal Moro War Zone
An Ohio soldier’s letter from Mindanao dated Christmas day depicts the Moros as naked fighters armed with long bolos and prone to severe punishment. He notes savage warfare between tribes, a belief that harming Christians secures a place in heaven, and the peril of surrounding 100 troops against 5,000.
