1910s - Various Scenes in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico

Photos from Robert Wagner digitized photo collection courtesy of William Quinones and Brownsville Heritage Museum - Brownsville Historical Association.
 Gathering of caballeros from main plaza near Teatro-Salon Cuauntemoc.
 This appears to be two Mexican men helping man onto car while three Americans look on. 
Another revolutionary scene being played out in downtown Matamoros.  A good Matamoros historian could probably identify streets and buildings and his name just happens to be Adrian Garza Dragustinovis from "Mi Matamoros Antiguo." He  identifies this as Gonzalez St between 8th and 9th (north sidewalk).

Three men riding horse carriage with another man passed out in back.  Is he dead or crudo?
