Villa was again defeated by Carranza, 1 November 1. Second Battle of Agua Prieta 1 November 1. Villa's army collapsed as a significant military force. Villa subsequently led a raid against the U. S.- Mexican border town in the Battle of Columbus 9 March 1. Pershing to capture Villa in an unsuccessful nine- month incursion into Mexican sovereign territory (Pancho Villa Expedition) that ended when the United States entered World War I and Pershing was recalled. In 1. 92. 0, Villa made an agreement with the Mexican government, following the ousting and death of Carranza, to retire from hostilities and was given a hacienda near Parral, Chihuahua, which he turned into a . In 1. 92. 3, as presidential elections approached, he re- involved himself in Mexican politics. Shortly thereafter he was assassinated, most likely on the orders of Obreg. Villa's exclusion from the official narrative of the Revolution might have contributed to his continued posthumous popular acclaim. He was celebrated during the Revolution and long afterward by corridos, movies about his life, and novels by prominent writers. PRIVATE PAPERS: Aspinwall Papers, Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Vol. IX - Fourth Series Billups, Richard Papers; Box 1, Folder 16; Box 3. Pancho Villa told a number of conflicting stories about his early life, and his 'early life remains shrouded in mystery.' According to most sources, he. In 1. 97. 6, his remains were reburied in the Monument to the Revolution in Mexico City in a huge public ceremony not attended by his widow Luz Corral. His father was a sharecropper named Agust. He grew up at the Rancho de la Coyotada. The family's residence now houses the Casa de Pancho Villa historic museum in San Juan del Rio.: 6. Doroteo later claimed to be the son of the bandit Agust. He became a bandit at some point early on, but also worked as a sharecropper, muleskinner (arriero), butcher, bricklayer, and foreman for a U. S. Eventually, he became a member of an bandit band headed by Ignacio Parra, one of the most famous bandits in Durango at the time. Because of his connections with the powerful Pablo Valenzuela, who had allegedly been a recipient of goods stolen by Villa/Arango, he was spared the death sentence sometimes imposed on captured bandits. Pancho Villa was forcibly inducted into the Federal Army, a practice often adopted under the Diaz regime to deal with troublemakers. Several months later, he deserted and fled to the neighboring state of Chihuahua. In his Plan de San Luis Potos. In Chihuahua, the leader of the anti- re- electionists, Abraham Gonz. Villa captured a large hacienda, then a train of Federal Army soldiers, and the town of San Andr. He went on to beat the Federal Army in Naica, Camargo, and Pilar de Conchos, but lost at Tecolote. Madero ordered Villa to deal with the threat, which he did, disarming and arresting them. Madero rewarded Villa by promoting him to colonel in the revolutionary forces. Villa and Pascual Orozco attacked instead, capturing the city after two days of fighting, thus winning the first Battle of Ciudad Ju. The rebel forces, including Villa, were demobilized and Madero called on the men of action to return to civilian life. Orozco and Villa demanded that hacienda land seized during the violence bringing Madero to power be distributed to revolutionary soldiers. Madero refused, saying that the government would buy the properties from their owners and then distribute them to the revolutionaries at some future date. It's simple: this bunch of dandies have made a fool of you, and this will eventually cost us our necks, yours included. Villa strongly disapproved of Madero's decision to name Venustiano Carranza (who had previously been a staunch supporter of Diaz until Diaz refused to appoint him as Governor of Coahuila in 1. At the request of Madero's chief political ally in the state, Chihuahua Governor Abraham Gonz. Although Orozco appealed with him to join his rebellion. With 4. 00 cavalrymen, he captured Parral from the Orozquistas and then joined forces in the strategic city of Torre. His execution by General Victoriano Huerta was averted at the last moment by a telegram from President Madero. Villa struck Huerta, who then ordered Villa's execution for insubordination and theft. As he was about to be executed by firing squad, he made appeal to Generals Emilio Madero and Raul Madero, brothers of President Madero. Their intervention delayed the execution until the president could be contacted by telegraph, and he ordered Huerta to spare Villa's life but imprison him. Villa was first imprisoned in Belem Prison, in Mexico City. It was in prison that he was tutored in reading and writing by Gildardo Maga. Magana also informed him of Zapata's Plan de Ayala, which repudiated Madero and called for land reform in Mexico. Here he received further tutelage in civics and history from imprisoned Federal Army general Bernardo Reyes. Villa escaped on Christmas Day 1. United States near Nogales on 2 January 1. Arriving in El Paso, Texas, he attempted to convey a message to Madero via Abraham Gonz. With just seven men, some mules, and scant supplies, he returned to Mexico in April 1. Madero's usurper and his own would- be executioner, President Victoriano Huerta. The governor of Coahuila, Venustiano Carranza, who had been appointed by Madero, also refused to recognize Huerta's authority. He proclaimed the Plan of Guadalupe to oust Huerta as an unconstitutional usurper. Considering Carranza the lesser of two evils. The movement was collectively called the Ej. The Constitucionalista adjective was added to stress the point that Huerta had not legally obtained power through lawful avenues laid out by Mexico's Constitution of 1. Until Huerta's ouster, Villa joined with the revolutionary forces in the north under . He recruited soldiers and able officers (both patriotic Mexicans and mercenary soldiers). Sommerfeld and Ivor Thord- Gray, and raised money using methods such as forced assessments on hostile hacienda owners and train robberies. In one notable escapade, after robbing a train he held 1. Wells Fargo employee hostage, forcing Wells Fargo to help him sell the bars for cash. Villa considered Tierra Blanca, fought from 2. November 1. 91. 3, his most spectacular victory. His disappearance has never been solved. Oral accounts of his execution by firing squad were never verified. Army Chief of Staff Hugh L. Scott charged Villa's American agent, Sommerfeld, with finding out what happened, but the only result of the inquiry was the finding that Bierce most likely survived after Ojinaga and died in Durango. Reed spent four months embedded with Villa's army and published vivid word portraits of Villa, his fighting men, and the women soldaderas, who were a vital part of the fighting force. Reed's articles were collected as Insurgent Mexico and published in 1. American readership. President Woodrow Wilson knew some version of Villa's reputation, saying he was . He had even at some point kept a butcher's shop for the purpose of distributing to the poor the proceeds of his innumerable cattle raids. In 1. 91. 3, local military commanders elected him provisional governor of the state of Chihuahua. He printed his own currency and decreed that it could be traded and accepted at par with gold Mexican pesos. He forced the wealthy to give loans to fund the revolutionary war machinery. He also appropriated land owned by the hacendados (owners of the haciendas) and redistributed it to the widows and family of dead revolutionaries. Villa's political stature at that time was so high that banks in El Paso, Texas, accepted his paper pesos at face value. His generalship drew enough admiration from the U. S. He also recruited fighters from Chihuahua and Durango and created a large army known as the Division del Norte (Division of the North). Villa's enlisted men were not unpaid volunteers but paid soldiers, earning the then enormous sum of one peso per day. Each day of delay cost thousands of pesos. Disgusted but having no practical alternative, Villa complied with Carranza's order and captured the less important city of Saltillo. Villa accepted his staff's advice. The Federal Army collapsed, ceasing to exist as an institution. In August 1. 91. 4, Carranza and his revolutionary army entered Mexico City ahead of Villa. The revolutionary caudillos convened the Convention of Aguascalientes, attempting to sort out power in the political sphere rather than on the battlefield. This meeting set out path towards democracy. None of the armed revolutionaries were allowed to be nominated for government positions, and Eulalio Gutierrez was chosen as interim president. Emiliano Zapata, a military general from southern Mexico. Zapata was sympathetic to Villa's hostile views of Carranza and told Villa he feared Carranza's intentions were those of a dictator and not of a democratic president. Fearing that Carranza was intending to impose a dictatorship, Villa and Zapata broke with him. The Army of the Convention was constituted with the alliance of Villa and Zapata, and a civil war of the winners ensued. Carranza was able to collect more revenue than Villa. In October 1. 91. Villa crossed into Sonora, the main stronghold of Obreg. However, Carranza had reinforced Sonora, and Villa was again badly defeated. Rodolfo Fierro, a loyal officer and cruel hatchet man, was also killed while Villa's army was crossing into Sonora. After losing the Battle of Agua Prieta in Sonora, an overwhelming number of Villa's men in the Division del Norte were killed and 1,5. The Nelson Family Chronicles. Medieval Centuries.
