Caption: "Review, Fort Worden.," c. 1908-1912. Shows a military band playing or preparing to play, with rows of troops assembled in the background on the right side of the photograph. Fort Worden is located in Port Townsend, Washington, on Admiralty Inlet of Puget Sound. Construction began on the fort in 1898, and by 1902 it was serving as an active U.S. Army base. Fort Worden was part of the "triangle of fire," three coastal defense fortifications (Fort Casey, Fort Worden, and Fort Flagler) guarding the entrance to Puget Sound. The U.S. sold the property to the State of Washington in 1957. In 1973, the fort and surrounding area opened as Fort Worden State Park.

Several shelters with roofs of thatched grass or brush, with several unidentified women and children scattered throughout the photograph. The Seminoles are a Native American tribe from Florida, although most of the tribe had been forcibly relocated from Florida to Oklahoma by 1842.

The Florida Seminole tribe received federal recognition in 1957.
