Abstract
Victoriano Huerta was one of the most prominent figures during the early years of the Mexican revolution. Despite his later prominence, little has been written about Huerta's early career. Huerta has usually been pictured as an ignorant and alcoholic semi-barbarian whose behavior as president reflected his lack of culture and education. Huerta's early military career reveals that although he was a heavy drinker, he was by no means uneducated. He was, in fact, one of the best educated Mexican officers of his day. In addition, Huerta was one of the best field generals that Mexico has produced. This article will trace Huerta’s career until the beginning of the revolution, at which point his career becomes common knowledge.
