A Defence of General Funston is a humour piece written by Mark Twain in honor of US General and expansionism advocate Frederick Funston.

 Station Information - Frederick Funston
Frederick N. Funston (11 September, 1865 - 19 February, 1917) also known as Fred Funston, was a General in the United States Army, best known for his role in the Spanish-American War and the Philippine-American War.
After a bout of malaria, he returned to the United States, and enlisted in the United States Army at the start of the Spanish-American War with the rank of Colonel.
Some considered Funston's reputation tarnished when details of the capture became known later on, as Funston's party gained access to Aguinaldo's camp by the ruse that the Americans were surrendering to the Filipinos.

 First World War.com - Primary Documents - President Carranza on Military Operations in Mexico, 22 May 1916
General Scott, General Funston, and General Obregon were discussing this point, when on the 5th of the present month of May a band of outlaws assaulted an American garrison at Glenn Springs, on the American side, crossing tile Rio Grande immediately after to enter into Mexican territory via Boquillas.
General Scott insisted in the form of the memorandum concerning the conditional withdrawal of the American forces, but did not take into consideration the plan proposed by the Mexican Government for the protection of the frontier by means of detachments along the same.
It cannot be explained otherwise that General Scott should have insisted so emphatically on the signing of a memorandum stating that the American forces would not finish their withdrawal, if any other incident occurred which would mortify the belief of the American Government in the ability of the Mexican Government to protect the frontier.

Also during this period a number of his now less well-regarded works were written; they didn’t achieve nearly the popularity of his earlier writings and the revenues they generated could not offset his huge debts.
In 1895, when he was almost 60, Clemens made a decision to embark on his most ambitious lecture tour yet, to earn enough money to pay off all his creditors, even though the terms of his bankruptcy did not require that he do so.
Twain’s essays of that period included The United States of Lyncherdom, an impassioned response to the news of another Southern lynching, and A Defence of General Funston, his biting exposé of the tactics and morals of the US military in the Philippines.
