NEW YORK - CAMP WIKOFF, 1899. Colonel J. F. Weston overseeing the commissary department at Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph from 1899, we are transported back in time to Camp Wikoff at Montauk Point on Long Island, New York. The image captures the essence of a significant moment in American history - the aftermath of the Spanish-American War. Colonel J. F. Weston takes center stage as he stands tall and confident amidst a backdrop of soldiers and field hospitals. As chief of the commissary department, he plays a crucial role in ensuring that returning soldiers receive essential supplies and provisions during their quarantine period. The scene is bustling with activity; men clad in military uniforms mill about while horses stand patiently nearby. The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the campgrounds, adding an air of solemnity to this historic setting. Camp Wikoff served as a temporary home for thousands of soldiers who were quarantined upon their return from battlefields abroad. It was here that these brave men found solace and support before reuniting with loved ones back home. This remarkable photograph not only captures a specific moment but also serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and resilience during turn-of-the-century America. Through its lens, we glimpse into an era defined by patriotism and duty towards one's country – a testament to both individual bravery and collective strength.
