Through an Officer's Eyes: The Photo Album of Edward B. Pratt, U.S. Army, 1873-1902It can be easy to see time spent on Mackinac Island as a defining moment in a vacation, a career, or even a lifetime. It can be a special place, with its unique history, architecture, and local culture. But for the officers who served at Fort Mackinac, which remained an active duty post from 1779 to 1895, often the island was but one stop in a long career. Military records and army lists illuminate the promotions and changes of station these men

It can be easy to see time spent on Mackinac Island as a defining moment in a vacation, a career, or even a lifetime. It can be a special place, with its unique history, architecture, and local culture. But for the officers who served at Fort Mackinac, which remained an active duty post from 1779 to 1895, often the island was but one stop in a long career. Military records and army lists illuminate the promotions and changes of station these men experienced, but these sources generally reduce a lifetime of professional service, social interactions, and personal experiences to single, brief abbreviated paragraphs.

We are fortunate, then, to have a photo album assembled over the career of one of Fort Mackinac's officers, Edward Barton Pratt. With hand-written captions throughout, the 23rd U.S. Infantry and Scenes and events Connected with it, as it is titled on the first page, the album records Pratt's service in the U.S. Army from 1873 to about 1902. As implied by the title, much of the album focuses on Pratt's time with the 23rd Regiment of Infantry, two companies of which were stationed at Fort Mackinac between 1884 and 1890. Using a mixture of commercial photos and what appear to be amateur shots, the album traces Pratt's rise from a young lieutenant to combat-veteran lieutenant colonel. Along the way, Pratt and his family traveled across the United States, with stops in Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Michigan, Texas, Louisiana, California, Georgia, and New York, as well as a combat tour in the Philippines. The album documents the posts Pratt served at, as well as the soldiers and civilians he interacted with. Pratt may have assembled the album himself, but his wife Kate and daughter Mary Louise are also potential authors. In any case, it provides a fascinating and candid window into the life of a typical late 19th-century infantry officer.

This Purchase Is Worth It!
Color: White, Color: White
I got the charger and within 30 minutes my phone went from 2% to 96%, this charger is absolutely great! My old charger went out and the ones that were in store were garbage so I ordered on Amazon and it came within the next 4 hours and works perfectly! The length is great as well, I didn’t expect it to be so long which was a plus! 10/10 Definitely Recommend !

Great fast chargers for everyday use
Color: White
These chargers work really well and charge my iPhone quickly. I like that the pack comes with two chargers and long cables, which is super convenient for home and travel. The cables feel durable and the charging connection is stable. Good value for the price and no issues so far.

Great Fast Charging Cords
Color: White
My wife and I bought these when we had some traveling coming up and wanted to make sure our phones would stay charged. I'm very happy we did. The cords felt high quality as soon as we opened the package, so I'm confident they will last longer than our previous charging cords did. They are also SO LONG! If you've never used cords this long before, its a life changer. Being able to sit several seats away from the outlet at the airport and still have your charging cord reach is great. And, as the name would suggest, they do in fact charge your phone incredibly quickly. Overall I'm super happy with these cords, and if they ever wear out I'll be rebuying.

Very good product for the price!
Color: White
This is a two pack and it works very well with the charge being very fast. I have not noticed any overheating because of the fast charge. I did not expect that the cord would be 6 ft and I was so pleased. I also like the color being white because it makes it easy to spot. Everything is very compact and I am glad that I bought this product.
