EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the aftermath of the Battle of Las Guasimas during the Spanish-American War in 1898. In the foreground lie the lifeless bodies of Sergeant Hamilton Fish and Private Stevens, brave soldiers from the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry who lost their lives in this fierce battle. The solemnity and sacrifice depicted here serve as a poignant reminder of the cost of war. Behind them, a group of distinguished figures gathers for a meeting amidst the devastation. Among them are journalist Richard Harding Davis, General Henry Ware Lawton, General Leonard Wood, and Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt - who would later become President of the United States. This gathering represents an intersection between military leadership and journalism, highlighting their crucial roles in documenting history. The photographer behind this remarkable image is William Burr McIntosh, an American actor turned journalist who ventured to Cuba to cover the war for "Leslies Weekly". His work not only captured moments like these but also shed light on various aspects of Cuban life during this tumultuous time. Through his lens, McIntosh immortalizes both tragedy and resilience while providing viewers with a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history. This photograph serves as a testament to those who fought bravely on behalf of their country and reminds us all that war leaves an indelible mark on both individuals and nations alike.
