1898 Surviving Soldiers of the Spanish-American War - Colorized and Restored Video

Filmed in September of 1898 at Camp Wikoff at Montauk Point, Long Island, New York (year says 1897 on video, sorry typo). I colorized and restored this video using AI/deep learning algorithms.

Of the thousand and more men who left New York for the Cuban Campaign of the Spanish American War, scarcely three hundred were able to shoulder their rifles to march before the camera on this day at Camp Wikoff. The film shows many of the companies reduced to seven or eight men, yet the American flag and patriotic attitude still stand strong in these courageous soldiers.
