The Secret Family of Pancho Villa: An Oral History (Occasional Papers (Sul Ross State University. Center for Big Bend Studies), No. 6.)

Jose Doroteo Arango, alias Francisco "Pancho" Villa, emerged during the Mexican Revolution as one of the dominating figures of that tumultuous era. While much has been written on Villa's role in the Revolution, little is known about his origins and the forces that shaped his early childhood development and personality. Based on extensive oral history and personal interviews, Ruben Osorio has uncovered Villa's family lineage and background. This bilingual volume uncovers Villa's secret origins, which may explain his virulent nationalism.Ruben Osorio is the author of 'The Secret Family of Pancho Villa: An Oral History (Occasional Papers (Sul Ross State University.
