Pancho Villa Revisited

I spent an enjoyable few minutes visiting http://old-photos.blogspot.com/ and learning a different perspective of Pancho Villa and some of his bandit friends. Though I am not strong on most things historical, I have at least heard of Pancho Villa and some of his activities. I did not realize that in his day and age (the early 900's) his power and influence was equal to or greater than that enjoyed by a Godfather named Alphonse Capone during the dirty thirties. In fact, I think that Pancho Villa may have been even more powerful; because he successfully or nearly successfully overthrew an entire government before he was killed.
