Aerial View of a Military Tent Encampment, U.S. Mobilization Camp, c. 1898
This elevated view shows a sprawling military tent camp, likely one of the mobilization camps established in the United States to train and organize troops before their deployment to the Philippines during the Spanish-American War in 1898. Long rows of canvas wall tents and a wide company street reflect the rapid, large-scale mustering of volunteer regiments that characterized America's first overseas military campaign. Project: 218492
