Under Fire is an 1899 New York military history by Herschel V. Cashin and others, published by F.T. Neely, recounting Black soldiers of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry in the Spanish-American War and Indian campaigns. The pictures are sepia studio portraits of officers and soldiers in uniform, posed against painted backdrops or seated in wicker chairs, useful for designers seeking period military portraiture with formal, unposed dignity.
