General Oregon Is a member OF
an old Mexican family, which has
played an honorable and distinguished
part in Mexican history for several
centuries. The family has produced
many soldiers, clergymen, writer's,
and lawyers. Oregon is himself a
writer, having published a book deal
ing with some of his experiences dur
ing the revolution. He is student.
Interested in everything. and is able
to discuss a wide range Of subjects in
conversation.
Because his name has a Hibernian
twist, there are some who persist in
believing that Obregon was once
OBrien, and that Obregon's ancestors
came from Ireland. This Is denied.
