Visual Materials
Photographs of the 6th U.S. Cavalry troops in Texas near the Mexico border during the Mexican Expedition (or Punitive Expedition) against Pancho Villa, 1916 to 1917. The operation was conducted by the U.S. after Villa's raid on Columbus, New Mexico, in 1916. The photographs include soldiers and camp tents in the desert, horse corrals, troops drilling and on patrol in the mountains, men making adobe bricks, and a soldier posing with his gun pointed at the camera. Most of the images have captions written in the negative, and several are photographic postcards. All identified locations are in Texas: Marfa, Pecos Canyon, Dick Love's Ranch, and the Sierra Blanca train depot.
