Refugees from Santiago de Cuba, gathered near the village of El Caney, are the subject here, a scene of the upheaval that came with the 1898 campaign. As American forces closed in on Santiago that summer, many civilians, both Spanish and Cuban, left the city and the surrounding fighting, often on foot and with few belongings. The photograph was made by William Dinwiddie, and its catalog date of September 22 is unverified, so it may have been taken during or after the July siege.
