Alberto Fuentes Dávila is Nr 9 (8 of this picture)

Should be Oroszco. Same as this: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2162707307/

Thanks! We'll fix the information in the source data and reload the description.

Should be Orozco, general Pascual Orozco Vázquez (in contemporary documents, sometimes were misspelled "Oroszco"). es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascual_Orozco en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascual_Orozco

This picture is linked with picture LC-B2-2579-8 which is dated March 6, 1912. Orozco troops are parading in front of Palacio Federal (Federal Palace) and Hotel Francia, through Calle Libertad. Across the street, to the left is located Palacio de Gobierno (Governor's Palace). See article in El Paso Herld of March 6th, 1912 (The Library of Congress, Cronicling America) "OROZCO TAKES ARMS AGAINST MADERO": It mentions Gen. Campa and Orozco arrival to Chihuahua. Dr. Roberto Duarte

"El Gran Lente" was a photographic studio located right on the opposite corner to the right wing of the Palacio Federal", behind the camera. See in Texas A&M University Library, Wheelan Collecion of Mexican Revolution Photographs hdl.handle.net/1969.1/979 Where, if you zoom in, can read clearly EL GRAN LENTE---ESTUDIO FOTOGRÁFICO DE.---- and no so clearly ANTONIO SERRANO CHAVEZ, (who should be the author of this photo and the other photo called Orozco Enters Chihuahua in Bain's Collection) and ESTABLECIDO EN 1905 Dr. Roberto Duarte Plastic Surgeon

Mexican Revolution leader, dates 1882-1915, Wikipedia article.

His clothing style is something one would associate with a gunslinger.

Pascual Orozco Merino (or Sr.) born in the western mountains of Chihuahua State, in 1859. He was Pascual Orozco Vásquez's (or Jr.) (the main chieftain of Madero´s rebelion in Chihuahua) father. Was executed shot to death by Zapata in April 1913 in Morelos State. Dr. Roberto Duarte

Thank you Dr. Duarte for pointing out that this man is most likely Pascual Orozco's father. We'll make the change the next time we update this record.
