Spillsbury was a Mormon Scout for the 10th Cavalry U.S. Army in Carrizal, Chihuahua, Mexico. Spillsbury led and guided Captain Charles Trumbull Boyd and his small command of men, including Black Troops, into Carrizal, Chihuahua. Spillsbury and other members of the unit were subsequently captured and held after the Battle of Carrizal, 21 June 1916. By June 29th, Spillsbury along with 23 Negro Troops from the 10th Cavalry were released unharmed and into the custody of General George Bell Jr., (January 22, 1859 – October 29, 1926 - 16th Infantry Regiment) and were quartered at Fort Bliss, Texas. Spillsbury contends that it was Captain Boyd who was the aggressor in Carrizal while other witnesses and soldiers contend that it was the Mexicans Soldiers who ambushed the U.S. Troops - accounts vary on both sides. Among the dead at the Battle of Carrizal were Captain Charles Trumbull Boyd of the 10th Cavalry and First Lieutenant Henry Rodney Adair both Killed in Action on 21 June 1916. Both Troop C and Troop K of the 10th Cavalry suffered loses in the Battle of Carrizal.</p>[General John Joseph "Black Jack" Pershing]2011-10-10T21:26:35-05:00https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth187884/<p><a href="https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth187884/"><img alt="[General John Joseph "Black Jack" Pershing]" title="[General John Joseph "Black Jack" Pershing]" src="https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth187884/small/"/></a></p><p>Postcard of General John J. Pershing disembarking from a train. General Pershing is seen in this image shaking the hand of the unknown man who is wearing the derby style hat and the heavy overcoat. The other Army Officer, left, is identified as Major General Robert Lee Howze (1864 - 1926) of the 11th Cavalry. General Howze was in command of the 11th Cavalry during General Pershing's Expedition into Mexico. General Howze is credited for commanding the unit that rescued Captain L. H. Morey at Carrizal on or about 26 June 1916. This meeting most likely took place at the Union Depot Passenger Station in El Paso, Texas.</p>[Brigadier General George Bell]2011-10-10T21:26:35-05:00https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth187885/<p><a href="https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth187885/"><img alt="[Brigadier General George Bell]" title="[Brigadier General George Bell]" src="https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth187885/small/"/></a></p><p>Postcard of Brigadier General George Bell. This image appears to show the arrival of General Bell into El Paso, Texas. Two unknown Army soldiers, perhaps one man is his driver, are flanking General Bell who is wearing the white mustache. Also, the Army band stands to the left of the General - the band was usually reserved for special ceremonies or for change in command ceremonies as well. One member of the Army Band is holding a French Horn. Brigadier General Bell replaced Brigadier General Pershing as Commander of the El Paso Patrol District after Pershing was sent into Mexico on his Punitive Expedition. The Punitive Expedition was the U.S. response after Pancho Villa's raid on Columbus, New Mexico. After the raid on Columbus, New Mexico, the City of El Paso was in a panic and feared that Pancho Villa would also attack the City of El Paso. General Bell helped to settle the panic by sending 5 companies, from the 16th U.S. Infantry, to guard the border between El Paso and Ciudad Juarez.</p>[Colonel Girrard 15th U.S. Cavalry]2011-10-10T21:26:35-05:00https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth187886/<p><a href="https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth187886/"><img alt="[Colonel Girrard 15th U.S. Cavalry]" title="[Colonel Girrard 15th U.S. Cavalry]" src="https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth187886/small/"/></a></p><p>Postcard allegedly of Colonel Girrard [Girard], 15th U.S. Cavalry. Unfortunately we could not find any corroborating historical information that the Army Officer seen here, on horseback front, is in fact a Colonel Girrard with the U.S. Army ca. 1914. Also, the hand written ink caption on the front of the postcard does not match the original writing by Walter H. Horne himself [ca. 1914]. The ink caption in the front was done at a much later date. If you notice that the letter "y" in the word 'Cavalry' - front side of postcard - does not match with the letter "y" in the word 'yours' - back side of postcard - which was written by Walter H. Horne himself in 1914 as he personally addressed this postcard to Mrs. Henry Horne in Hallowell, Maine. We can only confirm that the 15th Cavalry was in fact in El Paso, Texas during April of 1914. The postcard is post marked April 24, 1914, El Paso, Texas.</p>[Victoriano Huerta, Dec. 23, 1854 - Jan. 13, 1916]2011-10-10T21:26:35-05:00https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth187887/<p><a href="https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth187887/"><img alt="[Victoriano Huerta, Dec. 23, 1854 - Jan. 13, 1916]" title="[Victoriano Huerta, Dec. 23, 1854 - Jan. 13, 1916]" src="https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth187887/small/"/></a></p><p>Postcard image of Victoriano Huerta, wearing the eye glasses and hat, during his 1915 arrest in El Paso, Texas. Victoriano Huerta, Dec. 23, 1854 - Jan. 13, 1916. Victoriano Huerta was the dictatorial President of Mexico from February 18, 1913 - July 15, 1914. General Victoriano Huerta also served as Chief of Army Staff under the Presidency of Francisco Madero. Huerta would later have Francisco Madero assassinated by his order. Walter H. Horne writes the caption for this postcard [reverse side] as: "Gen. Huerta is being taken to County Jail. El Paso, Texas. July 2/1915. Looks as though the old boy was in bad!" Huerta was arrested in El Paso and was sent to Fort Bliss to await his trial for fomenting rebellion in Mexico. Huerta would never see a trial as he would die from liver complications - most likely due to liver cirrhosis - before his trial ever began. Huerta is buried at Evergreen Cemetery, on Alameda Street, in El Paso, Texas. None of the other men are identified.</p>[Brigadier General Edgar Z.

The Pershing House was built in 1910 and it is one of the more famous structures on the Fort Bliss Post. Other famous people who were hosted at the Pershing House include: Pancho Villa, General Alvaro Obregón, and William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody. The official address of the house is 228 Sheridan Road, Fort Bliss, TX 79906. The original cost of the house was $16,378.00 and the house is named for Brigadier General John J.
