The terror-filled days of
the Mexican Revolution
have been recounted for his-
torical purposes by the wife
of a sergeant in the Mexican
army.
Mrs. Epifania Alvarado of
San Marcos, Texas, con-
tributed oral memoirs to
Texas Tech University’s
Southwest Collection. Re-
corded on tape, two hours of
oral history tell, from a
woman’s point of view, the
hardships and strife of fol-
lowing the army from camp
to camp.
In addition to its vol-
uminous manuscript hold-
ings, the Southwest Col-
lection now holds more than
2,000 oral history tapes re-
flecting the history of the
Southwest.
Mrs. Alvarado’s husband,
Marcelle Condradas. served
as sergeant in the army of
Venustiano Carranza, more
than 60 years ago, fighting
under the famed Pancho
Villa.
Mrs. Alvarado character-
ized Villa as a great man. He
took away hunger and gave
us food,” she said. "He
would kill cattle and then
have a feast for the people."
When the soldiers had to
go to battle, Mrs. Alvarado
said the families fled to the
mountains, a dangerous
venture because there was
only one guard for a group of
30 families. Bandits often
struck the camp.
“We had one soladaro
(soldier woman) who fought
like a man. She carried a

rifle and cartridges, and the
men left her a machine gun.
Her name was Maria
Pineda, a big, tall, strong
woman.”
The families would stay in
the mountains sometimes
for four to six months, which
posed a problem for food,
medical care and church at-
tendance.
When fleeting to the
mountains, Mrs. Alvarado
employed a pack mule, car-
ried her own utensils and
cooked her own meals. Ob-
taining food was sometimes
difficult. Even when she had
money, she always had a
pack of tortillas stocked
away for emergencies.
Mrs. Alvarado said that
sometimes women would
have to go to ranches and
buy the food, risking their
lives, because bandits were
always waiting to strike. No
supplies were even brought
in by the army.
Many deaths occurred. “If
a soldier died, they just dug
a hole and buried him. There
was no doctor, no priest, no
last rites,” she said.
After the Revolution Mrs.
Alvarado moved to Luling,
Texas, where her two chil-
dren were born. She now
lives in a San Marcos apart-
ment complex.
