BATTLE OF CASAS GRANDES
March 6, 1911

 

Battleground Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, Mexico


The Battle of Casas Grandes was part of the
 Mexican Revolution.


Who fought the Battle of Casas Grandes?

A revolutionary army, led by Francisco I. Madero fought against the troops of the federal army. The feds were led by Colonel Agustín A. Valdez.

Mexican president at the time was  Porfirio Diaz.

Who won the Battle of Casas Grandes? Who lost?

The feds won. The revolutionaries lost.


In Detail:

Madero and his men attacked at 5 in the morning. The battle was over after half a day.

The garrison of the 18th Batallion and other sections was approx 513 men. The attacking revolutionaries were around 800.

The reason for the revolutionaries' defeat showed up at 7.15 AM in form of the arrival of another column of 562 soldiers with two mortars under the command of Coronel Samuel García Cuellar, who got himself injured in the battle (wounded arm). Coronel Rafael Eguía Liz took his place.

In a later statement issued by Francisco Madero, the scouts of the revolutionaries were blamed for this defeat. Madero explains that it was the unexpected arrival of federal reinforcements that caused a panic among his army. The scouts, so Madero, had been shot.


 

What was the damage?

Of Madero's army, 58 persons were killed, among them

Salomón Dozal, Francisco Esteves, José Dolores Palomino, R.F. Harrington from El Paso, TX; Robert E. Lee from San Francisco, CA; Robert Evans from San Francisco, CA; Roy Glenn from Mineral Springs, TX.


Forty-one men were taken prisoners, among them

Eduardo F. Hay, Sidney Severs who was son of New York businessman B.E. Severs; Ferdinand Lieber from Mainz, Germany; Fred Oberbuscher from Engleswircher, Germany; Joe Murry, from New York, NY; J.W. Graham from Oklahoma City, OK; R.F. Lee from McKittrick, CA; John Harrison from Del Rio, TX; C.H. Rice from San Francisco, CA; William Current from Enid, OK; Bruce Robert Jacoby from Minneapolis, MN; Alfred Franke from Santa Ana, CA; James H. Jones from Duluth, MN; Floyd O. Martin from Denver, CO; C.C. Carlton from Williams, AZ; F.G. Fowler from Fort Worth, TX.


The feds also took 153 mules, 150 mounts, and 101 rifles. Francisco I. Madero was injured, see photo below, and so was his brother Raoul Madero.

Of the participating Americans, 15 were killed and 17 taken prisoner. 

The garrison lost 13 men, 23 were injured. The column that came to their aid counted 24 dead soldiers and 37 injured, among them their leader as stated above; making it a total of 37 dead and 60 injured for the Federals.

Altogether, 95 people were killed in the Battle of Casas Grandes.
