    Terrific article that really put the meat on the bones for me, up till now he was just a name to me ,I had no idea how much power he possessed.
    Wonderful quotes from his contemporaries.
    Thanks very much for posting this.:good

    Just received this amazing pic of Herrera from his grandniece. It's just been placed in the article near the bottom, very much in apropos of the quote next to it.

    Really, really good stuff SB.

    Have heard about Herrera but never bothered to look into him. I'm glad you did.

    Good Find!
    Herrera reminds me of the main character in Jack London's short story " "The Mexican" indefatigable,indomitable,and,all but indestructible.
