Along the Road in Bee County
Postcard of a scene showing the area "Along the Highway Near Beeville, Texas" as printed at the bottom of the postcard. Note the electrical lines along the road. Beeville first connected with the outside world by telegraph on July 20, 1885, when the first telegraph office opened on the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railroad, even before the tracks were completed. Later, in 1891, Wright Van Meter set telephone poles along the Beeville-Refugio Road to Quincy’s Land and Colonization Company. Before 1900, Beeville had two telephone companies, the Southwestern Telephone and Telegraph Company and Eureka Telephone Company. Electrical lights went on in Beeville on November 30, 1896. L.D. Rhodes set up a plant near the Sims gin. Before 1900, lights were turned on and off because too many preferred the oil lamp. Central Power and Light came to Beeville in 1925 and the R.E.A. served all other rural areas.

We have no information on what number the 1131 represents. The American Insurrectos seen in this image are standing on an adobe brick wall. There is no information about the names for these men. Adobe homes are in the background. The men are armed with a variety of weapons: bolt action rifles; revolvers; repeating rifles; and one man, far left, is armed with bayonet knife. When the Mexican Revolution began, "Soldiers of Fortune" traveled from around the world and came to El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez to take part in the Mexican Revolution. Many were paid and many more saw no payment at all. Some of the better known organized soldiers of fortune were the Madero's El Falange De Los Estranjeros - also known as the "Gringo Rag-Tag Battalion"; Pancho Villa's American Legion: and Obregon's or Carranza's Armies. The hired soldiers of fortune fought on both sides of the Revolution. Better known individual soldiers of fortune were men like Sam Dreben, the fighting Jew, and Guiseppi Garibaldi.
