11 1/4 in x 55 1/4 in (28.57 x 140.33 cm) including frame image 11 in x 55 in (27.94 x 139.7 cm)
Provenance: Private Albuquerque collection
After Pancho Villa raided Columbus, New Mexico, on March 9, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson ordered General Pershing to lead an invasion into Mexico. El Paso and Fort Bliss functioned as the primary railhead, base camp, and staging area where thousands of U.S. troops—including a young Lieutenant George S. Patton—mobilized before heading south.
Following a deadly clash between U.S. Buffalo Soldiers of the 10th Cavalry and Mexican Carrancista forces at Carrizal, captured U.S. prisoners were released and marched back across the Santa Fe International Bridge into El Paso on June 29, 1916, narrowly averting a full-scale. A extremely rare view showing an undeveloped El Paso.
