520 _aIn March, 1916, Pancho Billa raided the border town of Columbus, New Mexico. In 1917 the Brite Ranch in western Presidio County, Texas became the target of Mexican raiders and in 1918, the Eighth U.S. Calvary, along with a group of Texas Rangers and ranchers retaliated and burned the village of Porvenir, Texas to the ground. Violence escalated. Using previously undiscovered sources, including military records and private papers, Glenn Justice takes a fresh view of these border raids and retaliations. His account of the massacre at Porvenir and the U.S. reprisal at Pilares has not been fully told before.
