    Wonder if they are posing in front of Old Mission, Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. And are the cargo, huayule [pronounce wayoole] bushes? Dr. Roberto Duarte

  • Jesús Roberto Duarte said:
    It should say Paso del Norte (NOT Paseo), today is Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México. But it is neither El Paso, Texas nor Paso del Norte, Chihuahua. This is Hércules Cotton Mill in Querétaro, Querétaro, México. Camera facing north-east Check a picture in The Library of Congress Digital Collections. www.loc.gov/pictures/item/det1994024281/PP/. and in lascronicasdelviejo.blogspot.mx/2011/06/rico-pasado.html you can see how the place looks today.

    Techos de teja (pronounce teha) (roofing-tile [baked clay, ceramic or pottery tiles]). En el Castellano arcaico, la X tenia el sonido de la J, de ahí la pronunciación aun hoy de Texas [tehas], México [méhico], Bexar [behar). Otro posible origen de la palabra "texas" es el del árbol texa o texo (del latín "taxus") [tejo, pronounce teho], confundido por los conquistadores por el muy común en esa región "honey mesquite" (Prosopis glandulosa), por lo que es mas probable que este es el que, por toponimia, le haya dado el nombre a la Provincia Novohispana de Coahuila y Texas. Cuando la provincia recibió el nombre de Texas upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5c/Provincias_Yn... no abundaban casas habitación (dwellings) de los aborígenes techadas con teja (roof-tiled). En Nueva España, se llamó Nueva Extremadura a una región ubicada al norte del virreinato, que comprendía los actuales estados mexicanos de Coahuila de Zaragoza y Nuevo León y parte del estado de Texas, Estados Unidos, también conocida entonces como provincia de Coahuila. Durante su existencia, la capital fue Santiago de la Monclova, actualmente Monclova, Coahuila, y mas al septentrión, la Provincia de Texas (entre el Río Arkansas y el Río Nueces) es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nueva_Extremadura Es muy posible que el nombre del Barrio TeXas [tehas] (Roofing-tile Neighborhood) se haya prestado a confundir esta fotografía con algún sitio de El Paso, Texas, U. S. A. Sitio que quedó aclarado con mi comentario anterior y las notas agregadas a la foto.

    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.
  • yeknod said:
    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?
