Imagenes De La Frontera, Border Images 1910-1916 July 18, 2009

The images of the Mexican Revolution and the United States Punitive Expedition in this exhibit are selected from a photo album that was compiled by Captain Donald A. Young of the U.S. 7th Cavalry. Captain Young was stationed at Fort Bliss north of El Paso when he purchased this collection. The album contains 201 photographs of people and events on the border between the United States and Mexico during the Mexican Revolution. Otis Aultman sold the photographs in his El Paso studio. The 26 photographs represented in the exhibit depict prominent characters as well as scenes from the conflict.
