About this Item

(Possibly Florida), circa 1898., 1898. Very good. - A lot of 15 original 3-1/8 inch by 5-3/8 inch black & white photographs of Spanish-American War soldiers at a training camp, quite possibly in Florida. The images depict uniformed troops lined up for inspection as well groups of soldiers at rest and recreation or performing tasks amongst rows of tents or in the fields. Several images depict small groups or individuals posing for portraits and one of the images depicts a large row of horses, likely those of the Rough Riders, being tended by soldiers as others perform tasks around the camp. There is but minor soiling to the verso of the photos and the edges are very slightly curled and could easily be pressed down. Very good. The Spanish-American War was fought between Spain and the United States from April 21 to August 13, 1898 following the sinking of the U.S.S. Maine in Havana. The United States intervened in the Cuban Revolution and the Philippine Revolution, the latter leading into the Philippine-American War. The war ended Spanish influence in the Americas, Asia and the Pacific. The United States, for its part, gained sovereignty over Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines. The First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry, known as the Rough Riders trained at Camp Riverside in San Antonio, Texas then moved to Tampa, Florida as they awaited embarkment for Cuba.
