A History of the Mexican Revolution

The summer of 1912 was just one disaster after another for Orozco. The federal forces advanced up from the south, and Orozco had to keep retreating north. In early September 1912, he lost his last little base, and by now wounded, he fled across the border into the United States. His rebellion had turned out to be a complete failure, and he was now in exile. But unlike the Vasquez Gama's brothers, Orozco would be back.
