... other factions. In essence, it appears that Madero endured in Coahuila because Carranza (1911-1913) was an effective governor. Huerta’s administration (1913-1914) failed mainly because of excessive taxation and unpopular centralization. The Villistas seem to have been interested in effecting changes...

... in Villa’s memory by the PRI establishment. North Americans share similarly conflicted views, celebrating Villa’s audacious machista image while bitterly recalling his Columbus, New Mexico, raid in 1916 which left 17 Americans (and over 100 Villistas) dead and precipitated “Black Jack” Pershing’s futile...

... held his father’s horse, not Villa’s, and that his father ordered him to remain in the trench until he could return. 69 But Paiz, by his own admission, left the arroyo after returning villistas told him that his father had been killed. 70 Therefore, Paiz was not in the trench during the entire...

..., for his style is breezy and sustains the interest well. Since he is openly villista in his sympathies, however, Carranza and other mortal enemies of Villa are handled rather roughly, and in ways that will not appeal to their aficionados . Also there are a number of points that are open to question...

... ignorant. Link misspells González’ name. He says the provisional government of Gutiérrez was “dominated by Villistas,” when the followers of Villa were always in the minority in that regime. He calls the units of Obregón and González “divisions,” when they were actually army corps. He says that Lucio...

....” If they joined the emerging Zapatista-Villista coalition, with or without Carranza, Palafox’s political prospects would be severely curtailed. The intransigent posture of Manuel Palafox was not, in other words, completely at the service of some radical Zapatista agenda. Rather, he was clearly looking out...

... on previous studies of Revolutionary coinage, the author indicates that in Mexico the historical setting of a coin often determines its value more than its scarcity or condition. As an example he cites the silver peso minted in 1914 by the Villistas which, under the Constitutionalist banner, contains...

... evolves from bandit origins to revolutionary generalship in the civil wars of 1914-1915. The Villista view of the Madero Revolution of 1910-1911, the revolutionary wars against Victoriano Huerta, the Aguascalientes Convention of 1914, and the 1915 conflicts of the triumvirate of Venustiano Carranza...

.... These earlier writers saw events from a Villista, Carrancista, or Zapatista viewpoint and used limited sources, usually the papers of their own faction. Not that Luis Fernando Amaya is completely objective. To him all who opposed the Revolution and supported Victoriano Huerta were “reactionairies.” But now...

...” for Chinese, were always ready to aid the Immigration Service in enforcing the Exclusion Act, or the seemingly unnatural alliance between Anglo bankers in El Paso and Villista slaughterhouse managers in Ciudad Juárez. Stock characters live in large numbers on Perkins’ frontier—soft-spoken Charlie Gardner lost...

..., and Zacatecas follow. Villistas are everywhere—which they were not. And there is no sense in the book of those numerous self-styled generals, who may have fought in the name of Villa but who fought for número uno . Torreón is the book’s most significant inclusion, told through a nearly day-by-day account which...

... he commanded an army of thousands. This book, written by two Villista veterans, should do much to correct the impression that the “Centaur of the North” was only a guerrilla fighter. The authors make it clear that in the campaigns which led to the overthrow of Huerta, Villa handled masses of men...

... that brought together Carrancistas, Villistas, and Zapatistas, on the cultural florescence, and on the efforts of Obregón and Calles to institutionalize Mexican politics. Despite Obregón’s assassination in 1928, his and Calles’s effort led to the solidification of the modern “revolutionary” coalition...

... of the Coahuilan’s lukewarm interest in land reform. And he served briefly in Victoriano Huerta’s government, again looking for a strong military leader. Affiliation with the Villistas and then the Carrancistas followed. His ideas and writings greatly influenced Article 27 of the Constitution of 1917—so much so...

.... Of greater interest here is the correspondence of the rebel leadership in the north. Through a careful examination of the letters and telegrams prior to and immediately after Huerta’s resignation (July 15, 1914), one can trace many of the causes for the growing hostility between the Villistas...

... the memories of aging men who were active participants in the crucial events of 1915. In addition he has been able to obtain documentary material, such as copies of orders, not previously available. Since he has made use of both Villistas and Carrancistas, the author has been able to achieve a remarkable...

... be captured and his private order to Pershing to pursue Villa until his band was dispersed. It is with the larger issue that the author encounters difficulty. In his conclusion Mason indicates that the Expedition was a success in disbanding the villistas , but had left unfinished the task of capturing...

... of the essays are somewhat disappointing. John Tutino relies on a straightforward (some would say reductionist) class analysis to explain the revolutionary factionalism of post-1913; he asserts (but does not prove) that foreign interests preferred the Carrancistas to the Villistas and Zapatistas...

... comfortable with the Villistas, who for several months maintained order in the vicinity of Guanajuato, than they were with Venustiano Carranza’s Constitutionalist forces whom they viewed as far more lawless and corrupt. In sum, the family seemed to perceive as friendly the very figures of the revolution...
