EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by the talented Burr McIntosh in June 1898 during the Spanish-American War, transports us back to a significant moment in history. Titled "Cuban Soldiers (?) beside Ruins of Roundhouse, Morning of June 23rd" this image captures a group of men standing proudly in front of steam locomotives. The men, believed to be Cuban soldiers, exude strength and determination as they pose for the camera. Dressed in their military attire with hats adorned on their heads, they represent the bravery and resilience of those who fought for their country during this tumultuous time. The backdrop adds an intriguing layer to the photograph - ruins of a roundhouse left behind by war's destruction. This juxtaposition symbolizes both loss and hope; while remnants lay scattered around them, these soldiers stand tall amidst adversity. Burr McIntosh was not only an actor but also a journalist who embarked on a mission to document this historic conflict through his words and photographs. His book "The Little I saw of Cuba" serves as a valuable account that sheds light on the realities faced by those involved. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from over a century ago, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by individuals like these Cuban soldiers during times of war. Their courage echoes through generations as we continue to honor their memory and strive for peace in our world today.
