A fantastic photo of U.S. Troops about to be transported to Cuba for the Santiago Campaign. There are stacked rifles in the picture but I can't tell if they are Krags or "Trap-doors".

Butler,

Seems like you like archival footage/photographs from the war. I found the site below many years ago, it has actual archived film of troops in Cuba and the Philippines filmed by Edison's motion picture company. Probably some of the earliest known video footage from a war. It's really worth watching some of the video's if you haven't already found that site:
