This photo matches with another Bains News picture entitled "federal barricade captured by insurrectos". They show the same place. Taken on Lerdo avenue; it´s a isoseles triangle shaped block (whose base is Vicente Guerrero street), Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. I'd like to ad a photo that depicts how it looks today, but don't know how to. Dr. Roberto Duarte

@Dr. Roberto Duarte: To add a photo here, first post it on your own Flickr stream, then highlight and copy its URL. Next, paste the URL in your comment box on this page (the one you've used above, or a new one). Enclose the link in square brackets [ ], and it will appear as a photo here (but only if it links to a photo already on Flickr). As examples, I have copied the above photo here: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2162705877/in/p... And the other Lerdo Avenue photo you mentioned, here: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163463378/

Quiero comentar como mexicano y patriota, que en esta imagen las personas que aparecen en ella... No son insurectos ni nada por el estilo, son mexicanos que lucharon por la libertad de su raza y de sus ideales, los cuales siempre fueron contra la marginacion y el desprecio de los mismos mexicanos, por unos cuanto extranjeros ricos acaparadores, los cuales apoyados por unos cuanto malos, mexicanos querian tener sumido en el hoyo de la pobresa y la ignorancia al pueblo mexicano... Por lo tanto son mexicanos valientes y valiosos, y es inadmicible que estas fotografias esten en manos extranjeras y no en los museos o en poder de mexicanos.

strange that these photos taken in Mexico have "south america" as a tag, when Mexico is part of North America. Shouldn't this be corrected?

Besides this picture is close by call number to www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/ggbain.09390/ the man marked with an x as white recruit seems most likely to be the second (from left to right) in this picture; and the first one could be the man standing backwards in that picure. Would it be possible?

jerodamor: An interesting possiblity, but I can't say there is enough certainty to make a change to the record. Thanks for the observation!

Mike Slichenmyer: Good point about the tag! We leave the ability to tag open to all Flickr users, and do find there are sometimes edits needed. There are several photos of Mexico which appear to have been incorrectly tagged as South America, so I'll see about having those corrected. Thanks for your comment!

Francisco Ignacio Madero González (October 30, 1873 – February 22, 1913) was a politician, writer and revolutionary who served as President of Mexico from 1911 to 1913. As a respectable upper-class politician he supplied a center around which opposition to the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz could coalesce. However, once Díaz was deposed, the Mexican Revolution quickly spun out of Madero's control. He was deposed and executed by the Porfirista military and his aides that he neglected to replace with revolutionary supporters. His assassination was followed by the most violent period of the revolution (1913–1917) until the Constitution of 1917 and revolutionary president Venustiano Carranza achieved some degree of stability. Followers of Madero were known as Maderistas. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_I._Madero
