HistoryAgua Prieta (Sonora, Mexico) HistoryMexican-American Border RegionWomen Arizona HistoryWomen--MexicoDescriptionCindy Hayostek details the life and times of Alice Gatliff, the forgotten woman of the Mexican Revolution. She had businesses on both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border shortly after the turn of the last century. She used to entertain visitors in her Curio Cafe in Agua Prieta with stories of bullets flying through her hair during Mexican Revolution battles. The stories were true, for Gatliff was a friend and advisor to two presidents of Mexico, Plutarco Elias Calles and Alvaro Obregon. She also had her cafe shot up when Pancho Villa attacked Agua Prieta in 1915. These and other interesting stories from the life of this fascinating border business woman are revealed in this 35 minute lecture.Audio Length00:35:16Date Original2006-11-28Date Range1860s (1860-1869)1870s (1870-1879)1880s (1880-1889)1890s (1890-1899)1900s (1900-1909)1910s (1910-1919)1920s (1920-1929)1930s (1930-1939)TypeSound- NonmusicalOriginal FormatLecturesLanguageEnglishContributing InstitutionCochise College LibraryCollectionCochise County Historical & Archeological CollectionRights StatementThis resource is owned by Cochise College and is provided here for educational purposes only.
