Episode 50 — The Mexican Game of Thrones, Part VI — Better To Die On Your Feet Than Live On Your Knees
Behind my office chair at The Nugget is a large poster portrait of Emiliano Zapata. The Mexican Revolutionary’s hard eyes gaze out over the snowdrift of papers on my desk, his magnificent mustache bristling, haloed by his massive sombrero, a bandolier of cartridges across his chest. Most folks who come into my office don’t pay much attention to him; those who do often mistake him for Pancho Villa. Occasionally someone asks who he was and why he’s there. He’s there because I admire him.
This episode is an introduction to the bold, tragic, and inspiring story of the truest of the Mexican Revolutionaries.
