1898réf. 236541898. Spanish American and Philippine American war US military photographs circa 1898 to 1901 documenting the Spanish American War mobilization and the subsequent American occupation of the Philippines. A caption identifying "Co. B Pa. Vol. Mt. Gretna" places one image within Pennsylvania's 1898 volunteer encampment where state militia companies entered federal service during the Spanish American War. A separate inscription "Vigan Philippine Islands Christmas 1901" establishes an American military presence in northern Luzon during the Philippine American War. The photographs record how soldiers were assembled housed transported armed and sustained across stateside and overseas settings. Photo archive of 11 photographs seven silver gelatin and two sepia toned photographs most mounted to cardstock ranging from approximately 5 x 4 to 8 x 10 inches Pennsylvania the Philippine Islands and unidentified locations circa 1898 to 1901. A large company portrait before a conical tent is captioned "Co. B Pa. Vol. Mt. Gretna" among the assembled officers and enlisted men. Other photographs show soldiers standing in opposing ranks along a wooded camp street; five armed men before numbered canvas tents; a mounted officer amid trees and tentage; a long formation carrying an American flag beside railroad tracks telegraph poles freight cars and industrial buildings; and uniformed men posed near a railroad water tower. Two soldiers stand before an open tent crowded with trunks bedding shelving cookware and personal effects while another view records enlisted men seated on the steps of a raised tent furnished with cots. An interior scene shows three soldiers eating smoking pipes and preparing food around a carved table with rifles resting across their laps and beside their chairs. One mount is inscribed "Chas. W. Grammes 925 Maple St. Allentown Pa." while another bears the dated inscription "Vigan Philippine Islands Christmas 1901." Mount Gretna served as Pennsylvania's principal volunteer encampment during the 1898 mobilization but Pennsylvania regiments received different assignments after mustering into federal service. Some units remained stateside or served in Puerto Rico while the 10th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry deployed to the Philippines and later fought Filipino forces after the war with Spain had formally ended. Because the Mount Gretna caption omits a regiment number the company shown cannot be securely identified with Philippine service yet the image preserves the state level mobilization from which such overseas assignments were made. By late 1901 Vigan functioned as an American controlled provincial center in Ilocos Sur where military authority and the new colonial administration operated amid continuing resistance elsewhere in the archipelago. Light surface wear and silvering to several images; tonal variation edge wear and staining to some cardstock mounts. Overall good condition. A concentrated visual record of American military organization from Pennsylvania's 1898 volunteer camps to the daily realities of occupation service in the Philippines. unknown
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. Bound album with severely worn spine; photographs generally clean and in very good condition with occasional corner wear creasing and small tears. Overall in good condition. unknown
