| Summary: | Verzio FF Submission
On the morning of March 16, 1916, Pancho Villa invaded the town of Columbus, thus perpetuating the first invasion of American territory by a Latin American army. That same day, a child was born in Durango. He was baptized Ernesto Villa Ramirez, after his father General Francisco Villa. On the death of Pancho Villa “the Caudillo” (a political military leader who is charismatic and populist), the mother took Ernesto to live in the United States and told him never to tell who his father was. Eighty-three years later, the old Ernesto returns home where he discovers that his father is now one of the moral leaders of the peasants of Mexico and a national hero. This is Pancho Villa's story told by those who knew him. |
