Collection, Robert N. Dennis Collection of Stereoscopic Views
This stereoscopic portrayal of U.S. troops and their war actions is part of
several collections sold to a public eager to view war scenes in three dimensions
and feel closer to the common soldier's experience. Images such as this one
expressed intimate moments in military camps, where most soldiers spent much
of the war. They also emphasize the highly regarded "Rough Riders"
regiment.
