An album of photographs documenting American soldiers at Camp McKinley, the first U.S. military post in Hawaii. The camp was established in August 1898, just days after Hawaii's annexation by the United States. The album begins with six images of a mainland military camp, most likely Camp Merritt near San Francisco, and a street scene in what appears to be San Francisco. The next images show soldiers in candid scenes on the deck of a ship, presumably on their voyage to Hawaii. The remaining photographs are in Hawaii, showing soldiers next to canvas tents, in drilling exercises, and in scenes around camp. Soldiers' tents are also seen inside the racetrack at Kapiolani Park. Some images depict Native Hawaiians posing in front of their houses or with American soldiers. There is also one view of Honolulu's main street, and some views of Diamond Head, local agricultural crops, and a stone church. There is no writing in the album and the identity of the photographer and compiler of this album is unknown.
