About the Event

Susan Toomey Frost draws from an extensive collection of Hadsell’s original photographic prints to narrate his ten years in Mexico in Witness to War: Mexico in the Photographs of Walter Elias Hadsell which presents a compelling visual record of a young American man’s venture in Mexico as the country veered into an uprising, and later, the United States’s intervention in the Mexican Revolution.
