    Photograph album of the Philippines during the Spanish American War

    Visual Materials

    An album with 114 professional photographs, with handwritten captions, taken during the Spanish American War, mostly in the Philippines, including graphic scenes of trench warfare, battlefield dead and wounded, prisoners, and the burning of towns and dwellings. Among the locations in the Philippines shown are Manila, Caloocan, Pasig River, and the Pasay road. Photographs taken outside of the Philippines show Japan; Honolulu, Hawaii; and the Golden Gate, California. Other photographs show troop encampments, scenes of village or town life, and war ruins. There are views of officers' and enlisted men's quarters, and facilities for support staff such as cooks, the Signal Corps, and the Red Cross. There are a few street scenes with Filipino men in Western clothing, women, and children. Photographs of people include Admiral George Dewey, captioned "Admiral Dewey's last day in Manila, paying the coachman"; General Frederick Funston; and Brigadier General Harrison Gray Otis. Many of the photographs have the imprint of Perley Fremont Rockett, the official photographer of the 20th Kansas Regiment. There are also 11 (5 x 9 cm) photographs of American and Spanish ships, which seem to have been cut out from an unknown source.
