EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cook house, 1893" captures a significant moment in history at Camp McKibbin, Maryland. The image showcases a group of African American cooks diligently preparing food for the army during the late 19th century. The unknown creator skillfully captured the essence of this scene with remarkable clarity. The campfire crackles as these dedicated men work tirelessly to feed their fellow soldiers. Dressed in traditional clothing and aprons, they showcase their culinary expertise while surrounded by various cooking pots and utensils. Their faces reflect determination and pride as they fulfill their crucial role in providing nourishment for the military camp. The photographer's use of black and white adds depth to this historical snapshot, emphasizing both the simplicity and significance of this moment. It is evident that every detail was carefully considered – from the buckets filled with fresh fruit to the jugs waiting to be used. This photograph is part of Brady Mathew B. 's collection housed at the Library of Congress. Its preservation allows us to glimpse into an era when African Americans played vital roles within military camps across America. As we admire this powerful image, let us remember those unsung heroes who contributed significantly behind-the-scenes during times of conflict. Their dedication and hard work deserve recognition as an integral part of our nation's heritage.
