Supplies unloaded from a train at Colonia Dublan, the American headquarters in Chihuahua, are the focus of this view. The camp served the U.S. Army's Punitive Expedition, sent into northern Mexico in 1916 under Gen. John J. Pershing to pursue Pancho Villa after his raid on Columbus, New Mexico. The train had come from Juárez on the border, a reminder that the campaign depended on a long rail and supply line reaching back into the United States. The print was made by William Fox for Underwood & Underwood, a commercial firm known for stereoviews and news photographs.
