This photograph is part of the Indicommons.org post And that was July … across the Commons.

The lower picture was taken by William Henry Jackson (Date Created/Published: [between 1880 and 1897) and is found in Detroit Publishing Company Collection, The Library of Congress. www.loc.gov/pictures/item/det1994003394/PP/ It was most likely taken in San Luis Potosí City by Calzada de Guadalupe between Carlos 10 Gutiérrez Street and Espinosa y Cuevas where used to be the one Federal Army garrison buildings Nowadays the Internado Damián Carmona, the other building to Internado's left, it is Mexican Army Public Library (in antother copy of this same picture, on the lower borher is scratch-entitled with script characters as Noonday Bivouack Goverment Troops at Hacienda Peotillos). If Jackson is the author of this picture, most likely was between years 1891 and 1892. During the uprisings in Western Chihuahua (mostly Tomóchic) federal troops were asked by Governor Carrillo and authorized and sent by President Díaz. So the picture does not correpond to the uprising held by June 28, 1908 in Viesca, Coahuila, near Torreón where 1500 troops arrived to quell the revolutionaries (see Los Angeles Herald, june 29, 1908, page 2, "BIG ARMY IS MARCHING ON TORREON....". The Library of Congress, Historic News Papers, Chronicling America chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85042462/1908-06-28/ed-... ) The Hacienda Peotillos (San Luis Potosí) main house is not alike to the building depicted. If you go to San Luis Potosí City in Google Maps and "walk" in street view by the streets before mentioned you'll see the building! Dr. Roberto Duarte Plastic Surgeon

The quotation is from 'Lays of Ancient Rome' by Lord Macaulay -

Then out spake brave Horatius, The Captain of the Gate: To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his Gods.

thanks Flickr / NLI my distant relative Jonas Watson killed in 1798 Wexford Rising ~ " Lt.-Col., 13 Regiment; fought at Bunker Hill, 1775; ADC to Duke of Kent; 65th Regiment; Governor of Fort Niagara; killed in Irish Rebellion 1798; monument at Castle Bridge Church, Co. Wexford " Terry Watson writes (June 24, 2003): Jonas Watson was a Lieutenant in the 65th Regt. during the battle of Bunker Hill. He had commented earlier, in a surviving letter to his sister Anne, that he must be oldest Lieutenant in the British army. He was promoted to Captain the day after the battle as a consequence of Captain Hudson being killed in action. He was Senior Regimental Captain when he commanded Fort Niagara July 1787 to May 1788. As Major in the 65th, his great wish was to become Lieutenant-Colonel of that regt. He never achieved this but did accept the Lieutenant-Colonelcy of the 13th with permission to sell out, which he did in 1796. He never actually served in the 13th. "

O Mac "®" ! What do all the other illustrations refer to? The burning house and church, the gaelic cross etc? Presumably the original document was gloriously coloured; has anyone found one online?
