DescriptionThree jeeps carrying New Mexico National Guardsmen move into the mountains of northern New Mexico near Canjilon while searching for members of the Alianza Federal de Mercedes (Federal Land Grant Alliance), also sometimes called Alianza de Pueblos y Pobladores (The Alliance of Towns and Settlers) or Alianza de Pueblos Libres (The Alliance of Free Pueblos), led by Reies López Tijerina. The jeeps are driving across scrubland. A wooden fence and a thatch-roofed small building are in the background.
