Information Orozquitas Attacked Huejuquilla El Alto on December 1912

Here is some information regarding the attack of 1600 men of the Orozquitas that attacked our village of Huejuquilla El Alto, Jalisco, Mexico in December 1912.

Deciembre 1912. "Mil seiscientos orozquitas atacan el poblado de Huejuquilla el Alto, defendido por un puñado de valientes. Los cabecillas de los orozquistas eran Cheché Campos, Benjamín Argumedo, Luis Caro, Evaristo Pérez, Evaristo Luna, Jesús Ortega y Mariano "El indio" Jiménez."

Regading this event, when I was at the library in Huejuquilla, I pulled out some old "Mi Pueblo" newspapers and read the article on the account of the attack.

One of the people that defended our village was of the local ranchers of the Alvarez surname from Rancho De Los Adobes who had some military experience. It was also rumored that another persona of our village who died defending our village against the Orozquitas was by the name of "Jesus Madera." He was the son of my great grandfather Calixto Madera.
