Description

  • Content Description: 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.
