Provided here, for readers of the Kindle edition, are the two maps and the poem from the back of the paperback edition of Those Who Trespass. The maps and the illustrated title of the poem do not appear in the e-book. The maps are larger here than in the paperback, so readers of the physical book may benefit from them as well.

Map of the Philippine Islands
Across the Pacific Ocean from the United States and across the International Date Line from her as well, the Filipinos are a day ahead of Americans. The archipelago sits to the east just across the South China Sea from Vietnam and its Southeast Asian neighbors that occupy the wide peninsula called Indochina during the time of this story. It is west of the Mariana Islands that are visited by the Rose O’ Sharon and her crew. |

Map of the Western Visayas
The 'quiet' part of the Philippines removed somewhat from both communist and Muslim rebellions, the peaceful and picturesque Visayan Islands only flared in war against the Americans and together with them against the Japanese. The land of beautiful women, these central islands drew men from the big island of Luzon in the north through the centuries. Although one must say: beauty is found throughout the Pearl of the Orient Seas from the high northern mountains of Luzon to the Moro lands of the other big island of Mindanao in the south. |

Steaming, breezy, sweet Visayas
Mountains rising bare and dry From wood and nipa slums palms so freely brush the sky, Leather brown- armed fishermen carry cyanide in plastic bags as history rides in two-wheeled carts drawn by spirit-broken nags, |
And Beauty walks on small, brown feet bearing high, exotic cheeks looking through herself to find the beauty that she seeks, Once she bared her small, brown breasts laced in ashy-black tattoos by the Spaniard craved, yet covered freely left by the bold datus, |
Beauty raised those tawny glands
Culture drew the tawdry lines And on these shores the two wrestle in the sands of time. |
