Pancho Villa-A Lifetime of Vengeance

Pancho Villa-A Lifetime of Vengeance

In Ben Williamsâ€™ new book, Pancho Villaâ€“A Lifetime of Vengeance, the infamous revolutionary weaves his evil heart in and out of an American family tapestry, in which author Ben F. Williams, Jr. spins the tales of his own boyhood years growing up in the southeastern corner of Arizona and Sonora, Mexico. Through facts and memorable reality from his parents and lifelong friends, Williamsâ€™ stories follow the crazed Pancho Villa from his earliest days of life, through war and survival along the border lands. Williams includes horrific tales of Villaâ€™s famous battles and his growing eccentric and violent behavior, as personal cruelty and murders increase.
This well-researched book culminates with little-known truths about the disappearance of Pancho Villaâ€™s skull . . . from his grave in Parral, Mexico.
In his third book, Ben F. Williams, Jr., discloses a wealth of information about what it was like for a boy and his family to ranch, mine, and survive during Mexican revolutionary times. Against this background, he not only tackles stories about Pancho Villaâ€™s battles and the man accused of stealing Villaâ€™s skull from his grave, but he baits the reader with the most curious story of all: Who was the accused thief of the skull, Emil Holmdahl? And what was his connection to Ben F. Williams, Sr.â€“the authorâ€™s father?
