 | | Victoriano Huerta, Mexican general and usurper of the Mexican presidency, was born on March 23, 1854, in Colotlán, Jalisco, Mexico, the son of a mestizo father and a Huichol Indian mother. |
 | | Huerta had succeeded in quashing the revolt by July, and returned to Mexico City with a temporary brigadier generalship in September, but in less than a month was sent to the Yucatán to help put down an uprising among the Maya Indians. |
 | | Huerta was furious at this interference in his control of the army; rumors flew that he was about to turn against Madero, and in late July the president recalled him to Mexico City for questioning. |
