Creelman, just after Dismounting from Horse which had Carried him from Hospital, Eleven Miles away, July 4th: Last Picture I Took in Cuba. While a war correspondent for the " New York Journal", Canadian-American writer James Creelman (1859-1915) started off for El Caney, where he distinguished himself by very foolhardy work and reckless bravery; it was he who pulled down the Spanish flag from the block-house. Creelman was permitted by the U.S. general in command to join the charge on a blockhouse occupied by Spanish troops. Advancing with US troops, and seeing the Spanish flag lying on the ground, Creelman seized it, feeling that the " Journal" should be the first to capture the enemy flag. He waved it in front of Spanish soldiers who responded with gunfire, wounding him in the arm and back. From " The Little I saw of Cuba" by Burr McIntosh, with photographs by the author. (In 1898, American actor and journalist William Burr McIntosh went to Cuba to cover the Spanish-American War for " Leslies Weekly" as a reporter and photographer). [F. Tennyson Neely, London & New York, 1899]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the courageous moment of James Creelman, a Canadian-American writer and war correspondent, just after dismounting from his horse during the Spanish-American War on July 4th, 1898. The photograph was taken by William Burr McIntosh, an actor and journalist who covered the war as a reporter and photographer for "Leslies Weekly". Creelman's bravery is evident in this image as he had just traveled eleven miles from a hospital to join the charge on a blockhouse occupied by Spanish troops. In an act of audaciousness, Creelman pulled down the Spanish flag from the blockhouse, determined that his newspaper, the "New York Journal" should be the first to capture it. However, his bold move did not go unnoticed by the enemy soldiers. As he waved their fallen flag in front of them, they responded with gunfire which wounded him in both his arm and back. This photograph serves as a testament to Creelman's unwavering dedication to capturing significant moments amidst danger. The image is part of McIntosh's book titled "The Little I saw of Cuba" published in 1899. It provides viewers with a glimpse into one man's extraordinary courage during wartime while also highlighting McIntosh's skillful photography.
