Lighting the Fuse: “Colonel” Greene and the Mexican Revolution Few Americans know much about the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), why it happened and how American policies and business interests were involved. One of the first incidents that led to this devastating civil war happened not far from here, in Cananea, Mexico. An American businessman, William Cornell Greene (aka “Colonel” Greene) owned thousands of acres of land and a number of copper mines in Sonora. His story, including his colorful beginning in Tombstone, the copper mine in Cananea and the labor disputes that sowed the seeds of the Mexican Revolution are the topics of this stirring presentation at the Tubac Presidio. PRESENTER: Bill McGrath is an excellent researcher and storyteller, who happened to room with “Colonel” Greene’s grandson in college. He and his wife Kris winter in Green Valley. His multi-media presentation will interest all. TOUR: The Border Community Alliance will be following up on Bill’s presentation with a tour to Bisbee/Cananea March 5-7. More information is available on our website www.bordercommunityalliance.org.
