Originally from Maine, Walter Horne moved west after contracting tuberculosis, eventually settling in El Paso, Texas in 1910. Looking for business opportunities, he bought a camera and began selling postcards of scenes of the Mexican Revolution and military life along the Mexican-American border. As American public interest in the war increased, Horne received large orders for his postcards from distributors throughout the country. At the height of his activity he produced up to 5,000 photographic postcards a day.
