Description

  • Content Description: The postcard caption reads: 'Scene along the march of the U.S. Soldiers in Mexico'. The scene in this photograph was somewhere in Mexico. An unknown Mexican boy stands next to his donkey as he poses for this photograph. The donkey was saddled up for riding. Over the right shoulder of the Mexican boy there stands an Army supply wagon that is harnessed to two mules. An old adobe home, perhaps the home of the Mexican boy and his family, is visible in the background. This was most likely a small ranch. A U.S. Army Soldier is riding the wagon with the two mules. And at least 4 other U.S. Soldiers are visible in this photograph.
