S. military units at "rest" and in battle lines Spanish soldiers and officers insurgents indigenous people graves of dead soldiers a handful of scaffolding and hangings pictures landmark buildings Dewey's ships President McKinley's "funeral" indigenous bow & arrow and spear hunters scantily clad women from Hawaii soldiers holding skulls children and families smoking cigars personal daily prep and hygiene much more.
