Some Flickr member added the tag "south america" to the list. Error: He might know that Mexico is not in south america.

Could be Henry Lane Wilson en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Lane_Wilson, the US Ambassador to Mexico standing next to the seated man. Looks like him.

They were photographed in front of Bustillo Hacienda. Compare collumn, wall and door sill with photo LC-B2-2593-3 Dr. Roberto Duarte

Dr. Roberto Duarte: This does look like the building in image LC-B2-2195-3 which is identifed as "Madero's Hacienda, Bustillo". We will include this information in the description for the above image when we update.

Plural tags seem so strange (to me)!

Sorry, we use a plural thesaurus in the Library. Force of habit!

Thanks

nice photo!

Lovely. Going to use to congratulate Rachel Alexandra; she just won the Preakness, second in the Triple Crown races, here in Maryland--against all wishes of all owners of colts. Take that! Bella pix.

There is more information on this cannon and a second cannon used by the Maderistas in the battle of Juarez, the so-called McGinty cannon, at netdotcom.com/revmexpc.cannon.pc, a website devoted to post cards of the Mexican Revolution. It was evidently cast in Chihuahua City under the direction of Giuseppe Garabaldi, a grandson of the Italian patriot who had joined the Maderistas. Lonn Taylor

Hello History Buffs! I am trying to ID a cannon presently housed at the El Paso Museum of History (2nd Floor). It sits on top of a wooden carriage (dark green fading paint) - sorry, I don't know cannon terminology- that measures 73 inches long. The barrel looks to be made out of iron and measures 301/2 inches long with a 2 inch smooth bore (other end measures 4 1/2 inches in diameter and is closed off). There are two wooden wagon-style wheels (each w/ 16 spokes) and both are put together in halves (height of each of the wheels is 44 1/4 inches...it looks nothing like the cannon depicted above but is believed to have been used during the Mexican Revolution. If you can help, please email me at: wildblue_yerevan@yahoo.com (my name is WaterTiger). You can see photos of it at www.flickr.com/photos/23400667@N07/ Name of Photos: MysteryCannon-EPMH1 (thru 3)

En la colección de Otis Aultman, de El Paso Public Library se puede ver en la foto 1707 (firmada Scott Photo) www.elpasotexas.gov/library/ourlibraries/main_library/bor... donde se le está dando acabado a un cañón muy parecido a este. La información agregada refiere que es en Ciudad Juárez. ¿Se trata del mismo cañón? Dr. Roberto Duarte
