Book Synopsis War Scare on the Rio Grande by : Frank N. Samponaro
Book excerpt: Brownsville photographer Robert Runyon's pictures document the development of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. His coverage of the bandit raids in 1915 and the U.S. military buildup along the border in 1916 is of great historical importance, as are his photos of the revolution in northeastern Mexico in 1913-1914.Samponaro and Vanderwood, using the Runyon collection of nearly 13,000 negatives and prints, shed new light on the history of the U.S. and Mexico. War Scare is a must for anyone interested in U.S. or borderlands history, or the history of photography. Number one in the Barker Texas History Center Series.
