Pancho Villa Statue at "La Bufa", Zacatecas, Mexico
View Original Description
On top of the Cerro de la Bufa, is a museum telling the story of the capture of Zacatecas, in June 1914.
The Battle of Zacatecas, also known as the Toma de Zacatecas (Taking of Zacatecas), was the bloodiest battle in the campaign to overthrow Mexican President Victoriano Huerta. On June 23, 1914, Pancho Villa's División del Norte (Division of the North) decisively defeated the federal troops of General Luis Medina Barrón defending the town of Zacatecas. The great victory demoralized Huerta's supporters, leading to his resignation on July 15.
