Background
- Scope and content:
-
Six black-and-white photographs mounted on five cards with extensive typescript captions. The first five photographs were taken in Alimenues, Philippines, where the soldier was stationed as a scout in 1901. Images include scouts and horses, stables, horse-drawn carts, men shoeing a mule, Filipino men cutting timber "for the U.S. Government when they built a Military road to the Ry," and a woman "thrashing" rice with an explanation of the process. The last photo, dated 1916, shows the soldier and a colleague after arriving by train in Bakersfield, California. The captions explain the context of each image and identify most soldiers pictured.
