It was taken in 1910, the garden was named appreciated Hidalgo Garden (now defunct). Currently the main square of the city. On the right, we see the “Alley of the Bells”, and the building is the French hotel. As a curiosity, iron benches were made in this city by the prisoners in the jail of Santo Domingo.

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:25:59 +0000 http://blog.smu.edu/offtheshelf/?p=208#comment-3432 I noticed with excitement that your Civil War cartes de visite are available to be used with the proper citation added. Thank you very much for making these images available to researchers and students of the Civil War. I’ll be bookmarking this site as a potential place to find images of Civil War generals who participated in the Siege of Petersburg.
