This slide from the Ticonderoga collection depicts a Spanish-American War veterans memorial — a bronze 'Hiker' statue honoring soldiers who served in Cuba, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico between 1898 and 1902. Such monuments were erected in cemeteries and town squares across the United States in the early twentieth century. Its presence in this Vietnam War-era sailor's collection reflects the personal, wide-ranging nature of these slide archives, which capture both military service and everyday travel. Project: 218112
