The album includes photographs taken of the 12th Infantry Regiment at various times from 1898-1899 but largely over the course of its deployment to Cuba in 1899. The activities depicted include scenes of camp life (mess lines, working, relaxing, tents, pets, games, visitors), military life (inspections, marching, drilling), and people and places (buildings, fortifications, coastline, on board a ship, various people). Though almost entirely unlabeled, the album includes two exceptions: a picture depicting partially submerged wreckage, labeled "The Maine," a photograph of a landscape, labeled "Morro," a rail car with the name "Matanzas" painted on its side.
