"My single ambition is to rid Mexico of the school that has oppressed her and given people an opportunity to know very well what real liberty means. And if I could bring that about today giving up my life, I would take action happily." - Pancho Villa "Pancho Villa," people whispered at the beginning of the 20th hundred years, "can march 100 a long way without halting, live 100 days without food, go 100 evenings without sleeping, and eliminate 100 men without remorse." The legend of Francisco Villa is packed with heroism, tragedy, and romance. It's the story of an unhealthy farmer boy who became a bandit out of necessity, after avenging an injustice on his family; a military services genius who flew from an oppressive authorities to lead the greatest revolutionary military in his country's record, and defeated dictatorship to be Mexico's liberator, and then fall season again in disgrace when his soldiers discontinued him or were massacred by the opponent. Pancho Villa and his cavalry, Mexicans point out with a degree of pride, invaded america, and even though they came up and tried to fully capture him, they never found him. That is, at least, the version that almost all of them know, but it's certainly not the same as in their books. The storyplot of Francisco Villa bypassed formal censorship from generation to generation, like leaves sailing at full quickness on the top of your stream. However the historical reconstruction is packed with nuances. Was he a liberty fighter, or a bandit? Was he a Mexican Robin Hood, or a thief and a murderer? Was he present when his soldiers invaded US territory? Was the advance of his famous "Dorados" (the "fantastic ones," the name of his soldiers) the cause for enjoyment, or terror on the list of people as they handed down the countryside towards Mexico City? Pancho Villa´s personality has been controversial since the start of his job as an over-all of the revolutionary army.
