A vintage black and white photograph, from the early 20th century, captures a portrait of an elderly Mexican revolutionary woman, standing outdoors. Crisscrossing over her chest are two fully loaded leather bandoliers. She holds a lever-action rifle diagonally across her body with both hands, its buttstock resting at her hip. Her head is covered with a dark scarf or rebozo. Her expression is solemn and resolute, and her hands, with prominent veins and wear, are clearly visible holding the weapon. The ground beneath her is dry and uneven. The background is a dense, somewhat indistinct wall of leafy bushes or ivy, with some large, blocky white stones resting on the ground near her feet on the right. The photographic style is historical and unpolished, with visible grain. Content shared for appreciation, commentary & education. Non-commercial use under Fair Use guidelines and DMCA standards.

#History remembers generals; the Sierra Tarahumara remembers these women. They were the intelligence & the defense, navigating a war that rarely gave them a name. This #Photography captures the raw, unnamed strength that sustained the North while the books built myths.

#RicardoFloresMagón died on #ThisDayInHistory in 1922. A key figure in the #MexicanRevolution, his newspaper #Regeneración coined #Zapata's #TierraYLibertad. His collaborations with #IWW and his editorial positions led USA to make him a #PoliticalPrisoner at #Leavenworth in 1918.

It's Revolution Day in Mexico where they reflect on the sacrifices made in the revolution that toppled Profirio Diaz and brought us adelitas, Emiliano Zapata, Pancho Villa, and "La cucaracha."

The women who fought in the Mexican Revolution Who were Adelitas, the soldier women of the Mexican revolution who fought for equality on and off the battlefield?

Trump & Sec of Defense need to read a little history about women in the military.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1879, a key figure in the #MexicanRevolution, #EmilianoZapata, was born. His argument for radical redistribution of land was central to his appeal and to the success of the 20th century's first great social revolution. He was killed to neuter the movement.

Flyer for Morgan's talk at NMSU Branson Library, May 1 2025, 3-5 pm. He will discuss topics from his 2024 book Raid and Reconciliation, examining the long cultural history of New Mexico's Lower Mimbres Valley and showing that violence was integral to modern capitalist development that shaped the border.

This Thursday, I'll speak about Raid and Reconciliation at the NMSU Branson Library. Join me in Las Cruces if you're in the area. I'll have copies of the book for sale, and I'm happy to sign them.

An excel spreadsheet with almost all the cells blurred save for the first one with some dates of the year 1910.

All this week I’ve been doing lots of #research, now it’s time to start mixing all this into the timeline I started with my #genealogicaltree. I thought it would be easier to choose what to add.
When it’s finally done I will start #drafting my #novel about the #MexicanRevolution. 🤞🍀

My book talk has been rescheduled for January 29 at the UNM Latin American and Iberian Institute at UNM in #Albuquerque. I hope to see you there!
