Photos Pics from the Mexican Revolution of 1910

[NebrHogger]

Found a few obscure pics from that revolution that weren't captioned so I'm not able to add descriptions. I did notice Winchester rifles were just as popular as Mauser bolt actions. I'll try to add more later.

Notice the railcar shows CB&Q = Chicago Burlington and Quincy RR - an American RR.

This was another conflict in which some of the combatants were quite young. This boy appears to be part of the Mexican Army.

More images of this somewhat confusing revolution. I have trouble sorting out who is fighting against - or for - whom.

Soldaderas or female soldiers. Women played an active role in the revolution. Again, notice all the Winchester rifles.

Troops of General Salagar travelling by train to a battle. They appear to be rebels.

Poncho Villa

Followers of Emiliano Zapata

Villa with captured artillery

Soldadera posing with sword. Colt revolvers and Winchester rifles also shown.

Appears to be Native Americans. One of the revolution's causes was the return of tribal lands.

Soldaderas in an heroic pose.

These are regular army troops, but to whom they're loyal remains to be seen.

Possibly related.

Major Klos' machinegun battalion. They have 1914 Colt or Marlin "potato digger" MGs.

Regular Army troops. Closest soldier may have a Japanese Type 30 rifle.

Thanks for the post and the pictures! Well done. Also, not trying to poke at you, but why do you think this picture depicts "Native Americans"??

Native Mexicans? There are what very much appear to be Mescalero Apaches shown.

According to the original caption, this was taken in Chihuaha, so probably Western Apache or Pima?

Keep in mind during those years the border existed largely on paper for other than government entities. Nomadic by nature, tribes of all Nations drifted pretty much where the wind blew them.

These videos have old footage and photos in them but also songs that were popular at the time.

I don't understand Spanish Mexican but it seems that in the second video @1:17 they call women in photo Apache?
