    LOC: Bain's caption reads "Federals," not "Feds." The Mexican troops never were called "Feds."

    By serial nr. if we locate these photos on last days of March or first of Apirl. Then the man on horse back could be Gen. José Refugio Velasco, "pasando revista" to federal troops posted in Gómez Palacio and Torreón before the latter was evacuateded. (Although the face features are not clear, the resemblance is high). Dr. Roberto Duarte.
  • Arden said:
    Thanks Wystan for catching the correct title. We will fix it the next time we update. Dr. Roberto Duarte: Do you have a photo of Gen. José Refugio Velasco for comparison? Thanks for the information about him.
  • Jesús Roberto Duarte said:
    You can find a photo of Gen. José Refugio Velasco in The Democratic Banner, issue April 3, 1914 and New-York Tribune, issue March 29, 1914 (The Library of Congress, Cronicling America). Dr. Roberto Duarte

    By Bain's serial numbers these two pictures are a secuence. It seems (3028-4) General José Refugio Velasco is passing review to the troops, most likely before fleeing from Torreón towards San Pedro de las Colonias. and 3028-5 they are marching on to that Town. Although they fled by train on the first 3 days of Aplil 1914. The other possiblility is the arrival to San Pedro. Dr. Roberto Duarte

    John Brendan Thank you both for your interest in this item! You are correct, it is a junior Union officer, specifically a Second Lieutenant in the Union Army. We have made the appropriate changes and have updated our record accordingly. Thank you both again for your interest, and it is always wonderful to hear feedback from such knowledgeable people as yourselves!
