These photographs of the MARINES' 1928
Rio Coco Expedition,
led by Capt. Merritt A. "Red Mike"
Edson, offer a striking visual accompaniment to
the many documents on this subject included in
the East Coast pages. They are
housed variously in the Library of Congress
(LOC), the Marine Corps Research Center (MCRC),
and in Archives II (USNA2). Sources are
indicated for each.
