Inspiration

When my mother was teaching school in a Mexican community between 1910-14, the civil war was raging, causing great upheaval. Poncho Villa’s rabble and other revolutionary armies had at one time or other encamped in the local plaza with their soldaderas (camp followers).

My mother’s description of the perilous events with fear still etched in her eyes came to mind when I wrote this short narrative.
