Description: Mexican Revolution Border War Real Photo Postcard Madero’s government faced its first armed challenge: Pascual Orozco’s rising in 1912. Obregon, commanding a battalion of irregulars from Sonora, many of them Mayos and Yaquis, routed a cavalry detachment at San Joaquin in northern Sonora. It was during this action that Obregón displayed the qualities that would make him such an outstanding military leader: a good intelligence service, realistic assessment of his own resources, mastery of surprise maneuvers and a photographic memory. The latter quality had made him a formidable poker player. He could look at a deck of cards once and then recite their order from memory. In combat, Obregón was able to familiarize himself with every terrain detail of a site that he wanted to select as a battlefield. photographer: D.W.
