EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Cherokee: in the Bay, Spanish-American War, June 1898" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image captures the US troopship, Cherokee, as it departs from Port Tampa in Florida during the Spanish-American War. In this powerful snapshot of the late 19th century America, we witness a nation preparing for war. The ship is filled with brave soldiers ready to embark on a journey to Cuba. As they leave behind their loved ones and familiar shores, determination and patriotism radiate from their faces. Burr McIntosh, an accomplished actor turned journalist and photographer for "Leslies Weekly" accompanied these troops as both observer and chronicler of this historic conflict. His lens skillfully freezes this poignant scene against the backdrop of Tampa Bay's tranquil waters. "The Cherokee: in the Bay" not only documents an important event but also encapsulates the spirit of unity that characterized America at that time. It serves as a reminder of our country's resilience and willingness to defend its ideals beyond its borders. Today, this remarkable photograph stands as a testament to Burr McIntosh's talent for capturing raw emotion through his lens. Its timeless quality allows us to reflect upon our past while appreciating how far we have come as a nation.
