EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Company C, 3rd US Infantry near Fort Meade, So Dak, 1890," captures a moment in American history as documented by renowned photographer John C. H. Grabill. The image portrays a group of uniformed military men gathered in a wooded hillside setting, with Fort Meade in the distant background. The soldiers, a mix of standing, sitting, and lying down poses, engage in various activities, some taking aim with their rifles. The 3rd US Infantry, also known as the Old Guard, was one of the oldest infantry regiments in the United States Army, tracing its lineage back to 1784. By 1890, the regiment had been deployed to the frontier, tasked with enforcing law and order in the uncharted territories of the American West. The soldiers' uniforms, with their high collars, tight-fitting trousers, and distinctive caps, reflect the military fashion of the late 19th century. The image serves as a reminder of the role the US Army played in the country's westward expansion and the challenges faced by soldiers during this period. Grabill's photograph, taken at Fort Meade in South Dakota, is a significant historical document that offers a glimpse into the daily life of the military personnel during this era. The image's composition, with its natural backdrop and diverse poses, adds to its timeless appeal and enduring value as a piece of American heritage art.
