Battery B Arriving at Camp (1898)

When Battery B of the 4th US Artillery came to Tampa Fla it meant business and the picture shows it One by one the big artillerymen pass by in front and reappear in the background dismounting unloosing saddle girths and bridles and leading away their mounts Limbers gun carriages and caissons in the distance The sweating horses and the vigorous switching of their tails tell a mute story of hot weather and flytime A picture full of reality
