A fine image showing a Black soldier in the 9th Ohio Vols., the only all-black unit from Ohio, in front of a tent at Camp Marion, S. C. The soldier is identified as Capt. Robert R. Rudd, possibly in his hand, and dated Dec. 25, 1898. No backstamp. Photo detached a bit from its mount, light mounting trace to top margin, else very good. The 9th Ohio was the only back unit serving in the Spanish-American war.
