Francisco Ignacio Madero González (October 30, 1873 – February 22, 1913) was a politician, writer and revolutionary who served as President of Mexico from 1911 to 1913. As a respectable upper-class politician he supplied a center around which opposition to the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz could coalesce. However, once Díaz was deposed, the Mexican Revolution quickly spun out of Madero's control. He was deposed and executed by the Porfirista military and his aides that he neglected to replace with revolutionary supporters. His assassination was followed by the most violent period of the revolution (1913–1917) until the Constitution of 1917 and revolutionary president Venustiano Carranza achieved some degree of stability. Followers of Madero were known as Maderistas. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_I._Madero

MADERO'S CAMP, Bustillo's Estate, near Chihuahua, April 8.--Madero, with his 8,000 insurrectos, broke camp to-day and started toward the Casas Grandes region, which is evidently a move in accordance with newly laid plans to abandon whatever method of attack he had projected from his camp here. However, the likelihood of a battle within the next few days is as strong as ever, and it is believed that the Federals will be the aggressors. ***Obviously, it was Madero's stronghold for attack, but for some reaason, he had a change of plans.

La Hacienda de Bustillo era parte del latifundio de los hermanos Zuluoaga (Pedro y Carlos, hermanos a su vez de Leonardo quien era dueño del latifundio de la Hacienda de San Lorenzo de la Laguna [al suroeste del estado de Coahuila], donde estaba incluida al poniente, el Rancho del Torreón [donde se ubica actualmente la Ciudad de Torreón, Coahuila]). Don Alberto Madero era yerno de don Carlos, a su vez administrador de la Hacienda de Bustillo; y tio de Don Francisco Ignacio Madero a quien puso a su disposición la hacienda para sus actividades políticas Dr. Roberto Duarte
