Willis J. Raynor photograph album of the Philippine-American War
Visual Materials
An album compiled by Major Willis J. Raynor documenting his experiences in the Philippines during the Philippine-American War (1899-1902), which was waged between the United States and the First Philippine Republic after the Philippines was annexed at the conclusion of the Spanish American War in 1898. The photographs are a mixture of personal snapshots and commercially-produced images, and several have handwritten captions. The album begins with scenes of Fort Logan, Colorado, in 1899, where Raynor was stationed, showing officer's quarters and presumably his wife and small children. The remainder of the album is set in the Philippines and subjects include: Raynor and other members of the 25th Infantry; war carnage; native Filipinos at work and with families; homes; and buildings in Corregidor, Luzon, Manila and elsewhere. Other photographs include "Decoration Day" at Corregidor and a cyanotype of patients in a hospital ward in Iloilo. Of note are several portraits of significant figures of the Philippine Revolution, including Emilio Aguinaldo, Antonio Montenegro and General Francisco Macabulos. The back of the album has a few clippings related to the war, and a personal clipping about the birth of Raynor's son on October 31, 1902, days before he shipped back to the United States.

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.
