[Two Mexican Women Making Tortillas]

Postcard image of two indigenous Mexican women baking tortillas. In this image we see two indigenous Mexican women (perhaps a mother and her daughter) smiling at each other as they are photographed baking tortillas. A stack of tortillas cools off in front of a wooden prep board. Three young boys stand behind the women as they look on and smile. We can assume that the boys are the sons of the woman that they are standing closest to - the woman facing the camera. And the woman not directly facing into the camera may be the daughter of the other woman. The creator of this image did not provide information about where this event took place nor of the names for this Mexican family. This is most likely a Mexican refugee camp. There are several similar looking U.S. Army 1920 ca. period tents in the background. The back of the postcard reads: To Miss Gena Olsen, Hillside Street, Ridgefield, Bergen Co, New Jersey From Galveston, Tex. Aug 1, 1914, Thanks for [sic] nice letter. We leave tonight & I hope to see you next Sat. The boat will be nearly finished when we get back. Hope [sic] you feel good. …

[U.S. Infantry Troops Standing at Attention]

Postcard of U.S. Infantry Troops standing at attention. The caption at the bottom of the postcard reads 16th Infantry, Fort Bliss, [Texas]. However it is difficult to positively identify the soldiers in the image as soldiers from the 16th Calvary - there is no company or infantry flag to identify the group. That being stated, the 16th Infantry Regiment was present in El Paso, Texas after April of 1914 under the command of General John J. Pershing. The 16th Infantry arrived from San Francisco along with General Pershing. The 16th Infantry Regiment was part of the 8th Infantry Brigade. The 16th Infantry Regiment along with the 6th Infantry Regiment made their headquarters at Camp Cotton. Camp Cotton was located east of Cotton Street west of the present day Chamizal National Memorial Park and south of present day Paisano Avenue. Bottom right corner of the postcard is the numbers 3035, the meaning of this number is unknown.
