One stereoview identifies Roosevelt's Rough Riders in the mobilization phase linking the archive to one of the war's most publicly mythologized units. As a group the stereoviews demonstrate the process by which the Spanish-American War was framed not simply as a short military victory over Spain but as a sustained structure of U.S. troop deployment and occupation extending from Cuba into the Philippines. The Manila and Malate scenes are especially important in this regard since they place American soldiers within the opening phase of the Philippine conflict where U.S. military presence quickly moved beyond liberation rhetoric into imperial control. The archive's mixture of battlefield casualties camp routine naval spectacle and celebratory review scenes shows how stereoscopic publishing converted war into a domestic viewing experience while reinforcing the legitimacy of American expansion abroad.

Spanish-American War & American Imperialism: Admiral Dewey Military Victory Parade and U.S. Colonial Expansion into the Philippines 1899

1899réf. 237631899. American Imperialism and the Colonization of the Philippines: Admiral Dewey Spanish-American War Military Victory Celebration Parade and New Rochelle Life Photo Album 1899-1900. An important photographic record of the public celebration of American imperial expansion following the Spanish-American War highlighted by approximately 38 photographs of the September 30 1899 New York parade honoring Admiral George Dewey and the American victory at Manila Bay. The celebration occurred as the United States was imposing colonial rule over the Philippines and fighting Filipino forces seeking independence giving the photographs particular significance as a visual record of American overseas conquest presented at home through patriotic pageantry military power and mass public celebration. Photo album of approximately 153 photographs including approximately 117 silver gelatin prints and 36 albumen photographs most 3.5 x 2.5 inches New York principally 1899 and 1900. The photographs are held in gray window mounts in a string-bound album and can be removed as they are not adhered to the leaves; handwritten captions and dates occur throughout. Approximately 38 photographs document the military parade celebration showing ranks of West Point cadets mounted cavalry identified as "Troop A" and "Troop C" artillery and horse-drawn equipment military bands American flags and enormous crowds lining the parade route. The official procession included 350 West Point cadets sailors and Marines from Dewey's fleet regular Army troops New York National Guard regiments Spanish-American War veterans and Governor Theodore Roosevelt and his staff. One view is captioned "Only woman in parade" while another photograph depicts the first American flag "hoisted over Morro Castle at Santiago." Dewey's May 1 1898 destruction of the Spanish fleet at Manila Bay helped open the Philippines to American occupation and transformed him into a national symbol of the country's new overseas power. Spain subsequently ceded the Philippines to the United States while Filipinos who had fought for independence resisted American rule resulting in the Philippine-American War beginning in 1899. The New York celebration therefore documented more than Dewey's military homecoming: its flags troops artillery bands political leaders and immense crowds embodied the popular celebration of America's emergence as an imperial power at the very moment it was establishing colonial control over the Philippines. The remainder of the album documents New Rochelle and Long Island Sound life including boating hunting fishing families dogs horses carriages substantial houses residential construction and waterfront recreation. Identified subjects include the launch of "Kathleen" Horseshoe Harbor Glen Island the Columbia Library and the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
