About this Item
Small-format panoramic photograph, 3½ x 12 inches, partially handcolored. Minor wear and rubbing. Very good. Mounted on brown cardboard, minor chipping. A small but interesting panoramic photograph of the 1st United States Cavalry on parade at Fort Clark near Bracketville in far south- central Texas in 1906. Fort Clark was opened in the mid-19th century to provide protection for the border and for the roads leading to El Paso. The fort was active through World War II, but was deactivated in 1946. The 1st Cavalry was assigned to Fort Clark in 1903, between appointments to the Philippines - serving with distinction in the Philippine- American War, followed by a much quieter two- year stint there. In the year this photograph was taken, the regiment spent some time in San Francisco, assisting with the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake and fires. Here they are on parade, perhaps about to leave for, or having just returned from, California. In the present photograph, most of the soldiers' hats and uniform shirts are tinted blue. A handsome image of a long- closed Texas frontier fort and the cavalrymen who lived there for three years in the first decade of the 20th century. Seller Inventory # WRCAM55315
