DISTANT NEIGHBORS:  The U.S. and the Mexican Revolution

Francisco Madero and his advisors, 1911

Although Francisco Madero became the head of the Mexican Revolution, he was supported subtantially by a group of men in the state of Chihuahua.  Foremost among these was Pascual Orozco, who managed to recruit a sizeable group of men to fight under the banner of the Anti-Reelectionists.  This photo taken in El Paso, Texas, shows the leaders of the revolution.  They include José María Pino Suárez (#1) who became Vice-President under Madero, Venustiano Carranza (#3) who led the Constitutionalists to victory, Francisco “Pancho” Villa (#10), Emilio Vázquez Gómez, who had been promised the Vice Presidency (#4), Francisco Madero (#5), and, of course, Pascual Orozco (#9).
