    This picture was taken in front of the Old Mission [Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de lo Mansos. See your www.flickr.com/photos/smu_cul_digitalcollections/8245873562/ ], Ciudad Juárez (formerly Paso del Norte), Chihuahua, México, The camera is most likely facing east. The scene takes place in what today is Avenida 16 de Septiembre. Wonder if the cargo is guayule (pronounce, wayoole) bushes [Parthenium argentatum gray]. A Source of Natural Rubber. A Rubber-plant of the Chihuahuan Desert. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenium_argentatum In my home town (Torreón, Coahuila) it was stablished one of the first factories of the Continental Rubber, Co. at the end of XIX century. It yielded tires and other products of natural rubber. The bush was harvested in the surrounding semidesertic land. I've seen it and is very simmilar to that shown in the cargo. If somebody knows otherwise, please reply. Roberto Duarte Torreón, Coahuila.

    Found an 1912 NYT article about Col. Edgar Z. Steever's promotion to Brigadier General (pdf) during the Mexican Revolution and the accompanying cross-border troubles. He was born in Pennsylvania and graduated second in his class at West Point. He was commissioned a Second Lieutanant in 1871. He fought in 34 battles and skirmishes in the Philippines. BG Steever was forced to retire (pdf) in 1913.

    shouldn't the title be "Comd G" instead of "Comp. G"?
  • The Library of Congress said:
    yeknod: Thanks for noticing the transcription error. We changed the title to transcribe the letters in the negative rather than the caption card.
  • Bean Isabella said:
    If he became Brigadier General in 1912, wouldn't this have to be 1910-1911? I mean, wouldn't they have mentioned that level of rank? Even whether they wuld write that or not that remains murky, clearly it could not have been later than 1913 if that was when he retired.

    Could this have been at Fort Bliss?
