1915WRCAM52514Camp Douglas Az 1915. Panoramic silver gelatin photograph 8 x 32 3/4 inches. Matted and framed. Minor dust-soiling some foxing at right a handful of tiny surface abrasions. Overall very good. An intriguing "yard-long" panoramic photograph showing a handful of men and supplies likely belonging to the Sixth Field Artillery at Douglas Arizona around 1915. A pencil notation in the bottom margin identifies the location as "Douglas Ariz." and the supplies are similar to those found in another Camp Douglas encampment photograph held by this firm. The foreground captures about a dozen large gauge artillery guns on wooden wagon wheels likely officer's quarters atop the hill and then hundreds of tents arranged in tight quarters in the valley below for as far as the eye can see. The photograph captures important details on the organization and supplies necessary for training troops in the American army during the early 20th-century. <br> <br> Military records indicate the regiment training at Douglas at this time was the Sixth Field Artillery shortly before they participated in the Mexican Expedition of 1916-17 designed to defeat Pancho Villa in the Mexican Revolution. The regiment would soon after fold into the First Expeditionary Division later the First Infantry Division - known to history as the Big Red One - during World War I. Soldiers who had come from the Sixth Field Artillery to the First Infantry Division would see action in France specifically Lorraine and Picardy in 1917 and 1918. <br> <br> An important view of military organization in the early decades of the last century before mechanized vehicles became the norm in war. unknown books

An interesting vernacular photograph album of a young American's life in the early 20th century. The compiler of the album served with the 36th Artillery Regiment and trained at Camp McClellan in Alabama of which there are almost fifty photographs present here. Additionally most of the photographs are annotated in ink identifying the soldiers in the photographs the settings and locations and the activities in the pictures. The photographs include tanks a gas mask a brownie gun and three shots of an African- American soldier or staffer. Numerous images capture the training in progress with the soldiers "out on a hike" while they "prepare for action guns set ready for loading" and more. One image depicts a simple Alabama farm and is captioned in manuscript "Alabama scene." <br> <br> The remainder of the album is devoted to the young man's life in Indiana with numerous shots of farm life and prairie land and including a trip to a cabin in Morgan County. These shots are not annotated but provide an important peek into rural life in the Midwest during the early 20th century. hardcover books
