Villa was, after all, primarily a bandit. His real name was Doroteo Arango--one might guess that being named Dorothy could turn a man against society--at any rate, he was a rustler, murder, and the leader of a notorious band of desperadoes for many years before he became a revolutionary--so it only follows that there would be some who felt less than charitably toward him. He and Zapata captured Mexico City, and at some point(I a bit vague here) set up a new government, but were ultimately defeated by the Mexican Army under one General Obregon.

I am not sure why, but in 1915 or 1916, he raided and sacked some towns in New Mexico, prompting the US to send Gen. Pershing after him--Pershing didn't find him. After the War, General Obregon pardoned him(Villa, not Pershing), later reconsidered, and had him assasinated instead.

Anyway, he was quite notorious, and everyone knows about him, though we don't know much.

You don't want to elaborate on that story, by any chance, do you, Allen?
