This photo is entitled elsewhere as Hacienda de San Diego about half March. Dr. Roberto Duarte

you can see a colored picture of this building (recently taken [with the name HDASAND 1]) in www.flickr.com/photos/sanfelipeelreal/2800678650/

If you go to Goole Maps in satelite or map views go aproximately 12 miles south from Casas Grandes and 3 miles west, aside from Peña Dorada, you'll find pictures of this building as the main house (casco de hacienda) of Hacienda de San Diego as it was its real name. There you can check that name engraved in the big medallion on the front porch. Could it be that Madero was here before beeing in Bustillos after his defeat in Casas Grandes on March 6, 1911, or he advanced from here first towards Casas Grandes and this picture is related to either? Dr. Roberto Duarte

Dr. Roberto Duarte: Thank for pointing us to other photos of this building. Here is another recent picture where you can also see the front medallion which states : "Hacienda de San Diego": www.flickr.com/photos/betocisneros/2398489349/ We will add this information to the description when we update.

Found an article in El Paso Herald, issue March 10, 1911 (The Library of Congress, Cronicling America ) in a subtitle "Rebels Gather Again": "It is reported here this evening that Pascual Orozco and his band has arrived at San Diego ranch....." It is stablished that Don Jacobo's ranch is San Diego (ranch) Hacienda. Is it possible this picture reffers to the events and date above mentioned and the man on the white horse in the front center of the picture is Pascual Orozco Jr.? So far, I haven't found something that mentions a stay of Madero in San Diego Hacienda. Dr. Roberto Duarte Plastic Surgeon

from Wikipedia: 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, he proved to be ineffective and the Mexican Revolution quickly spun out of Madero's control. He was deposed and executed by the Porfirista military and his aides, which he neglected to replace with revolutionary supporters. His assassination was followed by the most violent period of the revolution in Mexico (1913–1917) until the Constitution of 1917 and revolutionary president Venustiano Carranza achieved some degree of stability. Followers of Madero were known as Maderistas.

Shadrach Christopoulos: Thanks for the detailed information on Francisco Madero. We will add some of it to the image description when we update.

There´s the same picture with more definition you can see Madero´s rigtht hand vandaged and hanging over the chest. That means that this picture must been taken after Casas Grandes balttle (or just later) which took place on March 6, 1911. After Casas Grandes fail, Madero retreated to Bustillos Hacienda. Maybe this picture was taken nearby. Dr. Roberto Duarte

You can see a picture of Francisco I. Madero (wearing the same clothes, his right hand hanging on a sling) standing among Pascual Orozco, Guiseppe Garibaldi and Raul Madero, printed on New York Tribune, issue February 24, 1913 [he was slain on February 22] (The Library of Congress, Cronicling America), but surely copied from a photo of C. C. Harris collection, which now is posted in The Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles. Both pictures were most likely taken at Bustillos Hacienda (or nearby) where Madero retreated after his failure in taking Casas Grandes on March 6, 1911, when and where he was wounded in his right arm.

El 2 de junio de 1911 Madero inicia un largo viage desde Piedras Negras Coahuila, pasa por varias ciudades importantes como Torreón (dia 4), Zacatecas, etc. para llegar a la Ciudad de México el dia 7. Esta foto en Wikipedia dice que es llegada de Madero a Pachuca en 1910. En seguida hay otra con mayor acercamiento, en la cual Madero se ve usando un traje mas claro, y dice que es llegando a Pachuca en 1911. Hay algunas fotos de 1910 en esta colección cuyos Call nrs. son muy cercanos al de esta imagen.
