MEXICAN REVOLUTION SITES 2 IN EL PASO 54 min 24 sec

“Mexican Revolution Sites in El Paso” A Walking Tour with Leon Metz and Fred Morales.
From 1910 to 1920 the Mexican Revolution captured world attention as Pancho Villa led military attacks on Juarez, Mexico, across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas. Villa and Mexican revolutionary leaders met in El Paso to plan and equip their armies. Refugees from the battle crowded into El Paso as hundreds of international journalists and photographers filled El Paso hotels to report on the revolution. It was one of the most historic conflicts in North America, and spectators in El Paso sometimes got shot. See many historic photos from the Mexican Revolution and walk with El Paso historians Leon Metz and Fred Morales to learn how events in El Paso were crucial to the revolution, and where Pancho Villa liked to hang out in downtown El Paso.

A very nice review of El Paso

[@jamesallen8418]

A question for you. I am interested in the 1916 Punitive Mexican Expedition. I read that Pershing and his troops were sent to El Paso without much equipment. The Army purchased all the autos available in the area. I'm looking for the purchase of Allen Motor Cars for the Expedition. Jim Allen.

Regret we don't know this one.

The inmates killed in the jail fire were huffing gas but it's not told

[@SoloNorteTM]

That's a gringo thing to say considering how the inmates were murdered for being brown. They washed all brown skinned people at that time who crossed into El Paso from Mexico with gasoline.
