Title:
Northern Lights
Creator:
Miller, C. F.
Description:
Full page color cover. Most issues of Life had a theme that was introduced by the cover and reflected throughout the issue. While there was not an official theme for this issue, the cover depicted a horseman wearing a Mexican style hat looking towards the Northern lights depicted as an American flag. Mexico was involved in a Revolution from around 1910 through 1920. The conflicts strayed over the border to the US in 1916 with Pancho Villa's raid of Columbus, New Mexico. This was followed by Pershing's expedition into Northern Mexico with 12,000 troops. The U.S. National Guard was sent to guard the Mexican border.
