( Que bonito es Chihuahua !)

It says C. Juárez not Cd. (city which it'd be the correct abreviation for city) of Juárez. It makes me wonder if it is Calle (street) Juárez at Chihuahua, chihuahua.

Entrada de los maderistas al triunfo de la Revolución en mayo de 1911. El portador de la bandera es el General Roque González Garza. Calle 16 de Septiembre y Juárez. El edificio de la torre es la Antigua Aduana (donde el día 21 de mayo se firmaron "Los Tratados de Paz de Ciudad Juárez. La foto es muy posible se haya tomado después de la firma. The Library of Congress tiene una foto en la que posan los firmantes de esos tratados): Mexican Peace Commissioners... by Scott Photo Co. hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3c18311 Dr. Roberto Duarte

You can see a photo of Gen. Roque González Garza in Wikipedia, wearing the same clothes, posing with his brother Federico González Garza. That picture surely was taken at La Casa de Adobe during a reunion of main Revolutionists on May 10th 1911, after Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, was taken. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roque_Gonz%C3%A1lez_Garza Dr. Roberto Duarte

Juarez, Mx? Who did the shooting?

The shelling was shooted by the revolutionary army of Francisco I. Madero, between May 8 and 10, 1911. Dr. Roberto Duarte

There are two pictures of the same corner, one with the foot note: RUINS OF MONTES HOUSE; is not copyrighted. Pending in which collection can be found. The other says ADOBE HOUSE DESTROYED BY ARTILLERY. Nr. 1138, W. H. Horne Co. El Paso, Tex.. There are depicted 6 cavalry insurrectos on horse back, in front of the same house. Dr. Roberto Duarte

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)

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called FLICKR PARA LA HISTORIA , and we'd love to have this added to the group!

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

Found this picture in El Paso Herald issue May 11 [that is one day after Juarez take], 1911 (The Library of Congress, Cronicling America chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn88084272/1911-05-11/ed-... ). You can read: "Bottom picture shows gun made by Garibaldi at Casas Grandes, which was used to shell the federals in Juárez during the attack. Behind the cannon is an ambulance used by Dr. Wilson´s [There's a photo depicting Dr. Wilson in this collection "Americans with Madero [LC-B2-2224-10] insurrecto hospital corps".
