EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Rio Grande Backing Out, Spanish-American War, 12 June 1898" transports us back to a significant moment in American history. Taken by the talented reporter and photographer Burr McIntosh during his coverage of the Spanish-American War for "Leslies Weekly" this image captures American soldiers leaving Port Tampa, Florida on their way to Cuba. Intriguingly composed, the photograph showcases the troopship Rio Grande gracefully maneuvering through Tampa Bay's calm waters. The ship stands as a symbol of hope and determination as it carries brave men ready to defend their country's interests overseas. The vastness of the sea behind them serves as a reminder of the challenges that lie ahead. McIntosh's skillful use of photography adds depth and intensity to this historical snapshot. The absence of color allows us to focus on the emotions etched onto each soldier's face - anticipation, courage, perhaps even apprehension. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from 1899, we are reminded not only of America's military prowess but also its unwavering spirit in times of conflict. It is a testament to those who have served their nation with honor and valor throughout history. Burr McIntosh has masterfully captured an indelible moment in time with this photograph. Through his lens, we are transported back over a century ago when these soldiers embarked on a journey that would shape both their lives and our nation's destiny forever.
