[General Pershing in Formation]

[General Pershing in Formation]

Date: 1920~
Creator: Aultman, Otis A.
Description: Photograph of General John J. Pershing and fellow army servicemen on horseback in formation. From the way the group is set up, with the unit's flags proudly displayed, it's apparent that they are not participating in a normal drill. The group appears to be part of a presentation of some sort. In the background, automobiles are lined up from side to side, indicating Pershing and staff has an audience. In the far distance, the outline of the Franklin Mountains is seen. A note on the back of the photo states that this photo of Pershing was taken on his first visit to El Paso after WWI in 1920. The photo was more than likely taken at Fort Bliss.
