This photograph shows a mounted American soldier, a view of the U.S. Army's presence during the Mexican Revolution, which was tearing through northern Mexico in 1914. The record dates it to January 29, 1914, though the catalog notes that the information comes from an old caption card and has not been verified. Its copyright entry names the Mutual Film Corporation, a company known for motion pictures and newsreels, so the image was likely made for a film or newsreel and was registered for copyright as a photoprint. The caption tags also list refugees, a reminder of the many Mexican families who fled the fighting, often crossing into Texas and Arizona, during those years.
