[Camp Stewart]
Date: 1910/1920
Creator: Walter H. Horne
Description: The postcard caption reads: Camp Stewart on the Mexican Border. According to archival records researched at the El Paso Public Library, Camp Stewart was once located at the southern geographic point of what is now present day northeast El Paso, Texas. Camp Stewart was located west of present day Dyer Street and north of Fred Wilson Road. No historic information was located on who the camp was named after. In 1916 a newly built Y.M.C.A – Young Men’s Christian Association – was built at Camp Stewart to alleviate some of the boredom felt by troops at the camp. In the background are the eastern slopes of the Franklin Mountains.

[Cavalry Drilling Exercise]
Date: 1910/1920
Creator: Walter H. Horne
Description: The postcard caption reads: Drilling Cavalry on the Mexican Border. There is no accompanying information on the true location of where this event was captured. However, because of the large mature trees in the background, this location was most likely in the area of Camp Stewart near Cordova Island. Fort Bliss on Lanoria Mesa did not have very many mature trees in clusters such as the trees seen in this postcard. The second cavalryman from the right has his service revolver pointed in the air. Please also see WH PC 180-027a and WH PC 180-027b.
