He claimed that there was a monument to the Mormon Brigade who were heroes for killing lots of Mexicans. I didn't know that the Mormon Brigade had killed anyone. Can someone help enlighten us?
Mormons were (are) well known in Mexico and had good relations with the government. There were a few colonies of Mormon settlers who moved there at the behest of church leaders. Pancho Villa respected them sufficiently that when he invaded the US, instead of taking the direct route through the Mormon colonies, he marched around them. All but two of the colonies were forced to close in 1912 but the two remaining colonies still exist. Mr. Valdez is full of it.
