Katz cita a un periodista de El Paso Times (Timothy Turner) que describió La Toma de Ciudad Juárez. Entre otras cosas menciona que le sorprendió la estrategia de pelear dentro de la ciudad. Los revolucionarios llevaban el rifle al hombro y en las manos hachas, zapapicos y mazos con los cuales oradaban las paredes que unian las casas y así abanzaban de una casa a otra para no exponerse a la lluvia de balas, lo que sucedía solo al cruzar de una calle a otra. Dr. Roberto Duarte

This must be circa 1890.

Between 1910 and 1915 took place only two manned free balloon flights in Mexico City, both in early 1914: On the Sunday, January 25, the mexican aviation pioneer Alberto Braniff Ricard (1885-1966) and the french technician Jules Dubois flew on a 2,200 m3 Gordon Bennett hydrogen-filled balloon just brought from France by Braniff himself. They took off from a Braniff's plot beside the former Colonia Railway Station (Estación Colonia) near the Paseo de la Reforma avenue (the balloon in the photograph seems to be above this place). As a Braniff´s guest were aboard the legendary mexican ballooning pioneer Joaquín de la Cantolla y Rico (1829-1914), at that time already an elder man, who would die three days later. The second flight took off on the Saturday, January 31, in the same place and on the same Gordon Bennett balloon manned by Braniff and Dubois.

Las soldaderas por regla general no tomaban las armas, aunque hubo excepciones. Ellas atendían a sus parejas soldados dentro y fuera del campo de batalla, muchas veces exponiendo sus vidas. Se les conocía como "Adelitas"

En zacatecas hay una gran, historia la toma de zacatecas 12 dias duro la batalla 9000 muertos o mas

Que las adelitas no eran revolucionarias tambien ?
