Why I rewrote this article from the ground up
editIt was originally written long ago, probably before most of the sources I used were available, and it was full of inaccuracies:
- The name of the corporal was not Watson Adams.
- None of the sources I read mentioned Frank Martin's father or anyone named "Dad Martin." This imaginary character was inserted in place of Lauro Cavazos Sr. and to him was credited the brave things Mr. Cavazos did.
- Frank Martin did not die that day but went on to become a deputy sheriff.
- I found no mention of George Forbes dying
- The adherents to the Plan of San Diego weren't seditionistas, they were sediciosos.
- The railway at that time was the St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway
- The earliest newspapers carrying the story are dated August 9
I removed mention of Luis De La Rosa as leader of the Sediciosos and that was wrong. I'll correct that within a few hours from now. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 03:37, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
