EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the Graduates of 98, Spanish-American War. Taken by renowned actor and journalist William Burr McIntosh, this image showcases four young men who had recently graduated from West Point before embarking on their journey to Cuba. Lieutenant C. W. Exton of the 20th Infantry stands tall among his comrades, Davis, Lafferty, and Cralle at Tampa Bay in Florida. Little did they know that this would be the last photograph taken of Lafferty and Davis before their tragic deaths near San Juan during the war. The solemn expressions on their faces reflect both determination and uncertainty as they prepare themselves for battle. Dressed in military uniforms with rifles slung over their shoulders, these brave soldiers epitomize patriotism and courage. Burr McIntosh's lens not only captured a group portrait but also documented an important chapter in American military history. His book "The Little I saw of Cuba" provides further context to this powerful image. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by these young men who answered their country's call during a tumultuous period. Their bravery serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit that has shaped America throughout its history. This print is not just an artifact; it is a poignant reminder of those who fought valiantly for freedom and justice during one of America's defining conflicts - The Spanish-American War.
