The Big Bend Country, no. 1 Shot in the Big Bend area of west Texas in the late 1930s - shortly before the region’s national park designation - we believe these are two separate parts of an original film surveying
the Big Bend region and its surrounding communities. Little is otherwise known about this film or the Miller Brothers, its producers. This part of the film covers the area’s geography, with
extensive views of and from the Chisos Mountains, and groups traversing the region’s rugged landscape by mule, by horse, and on foot. Significantly, the film also documents surrounding towns like
Terlingua, Alpine, Presidio, and the village of San Carlos, Mexico, among other locations, affording an invaluable record of the area’s community life: everything from downtown storefronts and
cinnabar-making facilities to rope-making and an impromptu street haircut at the border.

Pancho Villa’s Columbus Raid On the morning of March 9, 1916, a band of Mexican revolutionaries, Villistas led by Pancho Villa, raided the small border town of Columbus, New Mexico, only 80 miles west of El Paso.
Members of the U.S. 13th Cavalry stationed at the town’s garrison immediately responded, leading to Villa’s retreat. The Raid was a direct cause of the Pancho Villa Expedition into Mexico only
days later. Led by General John J. Pershing, who had a friendly meeting with Villa at Fort Bliss only three years earlier, the punitive expedition included 4,800 troops and became a testing
ground for motorized tactics and aerial surveillance. Produced by New Mexico State Parks, this film includes several first hand accounts of the raid from citizens of Columbus, as well as an
interesting account of the history of Pancho Villa, the Mexican Revolution, and the United States’ expedition to Mexico.
