Pancho Villa appears here on horseback, riding out with Gen. Rodriguez just before a cavalry charge that the caption says set off a major battle. The record dates the picture to about December 1913, when Villa's northern division was fighting the federal army of Victoriano Huerta during the Mexican Revolution. Because the caption came from a card that has not been verified, the exact battle and the date should be read with some caution. Pictures like this were often copyrighted and sold as postcards or printed in American newspapers, which made the revolution's most famous commander familiar to readers across the United States.
