Esarhaddon, King of Assyria
Riding on the Back of the Beast
The train that leaves from Chiapas and goes north all the way to the border with the United States is known as “The Beast.” Hundreds of Central-Americans travel on its roof every day. As they take this long journey, they find help in the community of La Patrona, Veracruz, where a group of women have organized since 1995 to offer water and food to travelers, an effort worthy of all our admiration.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)
Francisco “Pancho” Villa´s army during the Mexican Revolution.
