American Soldiers Posing in a Street During the Mexican-American War


"Webster's Battalion, Minon's Pass - Mountains just North of Buena Vista to E."

"View along a street in Saltillo, Mexico." (This caption was probably made by the Amon Carter Museum of American Art)

Two views of American soldiers posing in a street in Saltillo during the Mexican-American War, c. 1847. They seem to have been taken from slightly different angles that allows them to be viewed in a slightly stereoscopic way. I have never seen these photographs connected in this way before online. By an unknown photographer.
