Descriptionof Witness to War. Mexico in the Photographs of Walter Elias Hadsell

The book presents a compelling visual record of a young American man's venture in Mexico as the country veered into revolution in the early 1900s. Walter Elias Hadsell, a skilled photographer who had recently graduated as a mining engineer, documented a critical period of foreign investment in Mexico's mining industry and, in the process, captured scenes of Mexican life in other cities.
Susan Toomey Frost draws from an extensive collection of Hadsell's original photographic prints to narrate his ten years in Mexico. The images in "Witness to War" follow him from his time as a mining engineer in Mexico to his 1917 return to mining in Arizona, his home state.
Planning for a future career in photography, Hadsell soon acquired the Kodak franchise for Veracruz, Mexico's most important port since colonial times.

He documented the damage done in Mexico City during a ten-day uprising in 1913 that led to the assassination of Mexican president Francisco Madero.
