Historical Note
The Spanish-American War took place between the United States and Spain
from April to August of 1898. On 1898 February 15, an American battleship, the
U.S.S. Maine, exploded in the harbor of Havana,
Cuba, killing over 250 men. Though the cause of the explosion was unknown, many
blamed Spain, who controlled the Cuban waters. At the same time, Cuban
revolutionaries lobbied the U.S. Congress to intervene in their attempts to
gain independence from Spain. Finally, the United States declared war on Spain
in April, citing Spain's inability to guarantee peace and stability in its
colony. Troops were sent to Cuba, as well as to the Spanish colonies of the
Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam in May of 1898. After some months, Spanish
forces were incapcitated, and on 1898 August 12, a cease-fire was agreed upon
by both sides. The Treaty of Paris officially ended the conflict in December
(though it was not ratified by the U.S. government until February 1899), giving
the United States control over Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Guam. The
United States also guided the process of independence for Cuba, which was
achieved in 1902.
In August of 1898, the United States sent troops to occupy the
Philippines. Philippinos resisted American occupation of their country, as they
had declared independence from Spain in June of that year and had originally
considered the United States an ally in their fight for self-government.
Warfare broke out between the Americans and the Filipinos, and the
Philippine-American War, as it was called, lasted from 1899 to 1902. Sporadic
fighting continued between the two sides until 1913.
This collection contains 21 boxes of photographs relating to the
Spanish-American War of 1898 and its aftermath, the Philippine-American War of
1899-1902. Though the bulk of the images date from this time period, there are
also photographs in this collection from as early as 1895 and as late as 1932.
These photographs were taken and collected by American soldiers, sailors, and
nurses who served during wartime.
Loose images depict military scenes at home and abroad. Subjects include
land and sea battles, military fortifications, naval ships, and United States
regiments (including the 2nd Oregon Volunteer Infantry Regiment) and
encampments in Cuba and the Philippines, as well Army posts and military
hospitals in the United States. These include a series of photographs taken or
collected by John Wells Gemmill, depicting Company K of the 2nd United States
Infantry Regiment in Cuba during the war. There are also portraits of enlisted
American soldiers and sailors, veterans, and some doctors and nurses who served
during wartime. Other loose photographs depict views of the countries and towns
abroad in which the soldiers served and traveled, including China, Cuba, Japan,
the Philippines, and Puerto Rico, as well as their native peoples.
11 photograph albums contain images taken by professional photographers,
as well as collected and taken by soldiers and sailors who served during the
war from 1898-1903. Most notable are an album of photographs of United States
soldiers in Cuba, taken in 1898 by John C. Hemment for William Hearst and
presented to the U.S.S. Oregon in 1901; two albums
depicting the surrender of Philippino military leader Juan Cailles in 1901; and
one album of photos taken by an unidentified sailor serving on the U.S.S.
Monterey from 1902-1903. Other albums depict
military scenes and landscapes in Cuba and the Philippines, military posts in
the United States, and U.S. soldiers at home and abroad.
Other photographers include Spanish-American war nurse Clara Chatfield
Ott; soldiers Emil Scherbler, Amos Patriquin, and Edward McConnell; and
stereoview photographers John F. Jarvis (Washington, D.C.), Benjamin West
Kilburn (Littleton, N. H.), Benjamin Lloyd Singley, Strohmeyer & Wyman (New
York, N.Y.), and Underwood & Underwood (New York, N.Y.), among many other
photographers. Also note that many of the photographs in this collection are
identified with donor names and museum numbers from the U.S.S.
Oregon Museum. The museum donated the bulk of this
collection to the Oregon Historical Society.
