Born June 5, 1877, '78 or '79 in Grande, or San Juan del Río, Durango as Doroteo Arango (there conflicting sources as to where and when he was born). Became a fugitive when he killed an hacendado for attacking his sister. Joined the Madero revolution in 1910. Returned to civilian life and operated a butcher shop after Madero's revolt was successful.
When Orozco rebelled against Madero, Villa returned to the field of battle. In 1916, he raided Columbus, New Mexico. Villa continued to fight until 1920 when he surrendered his troops to Adolfo de la Huerta. Retired to Hacienda Canutillo until 1923. He was ambushed and killed on July 23, 1923 in Parral.

The whole question of bandits in the US and over the Mexican border is problematic. Remember that history is written by the winners. After the American civil war, people like Jesse James became outlaws since they refused to believe that the civil war was over; or wanted to continue fighting because they couln't do anything else; and/or feared that those who fought for the south, would be treated badly (which did happen since after any war there is some revenge-taking.)
What about Mexico? Some ex-Confederates went down there but more importantly they were in the midst of a civil war and people like Villa were some of the players. People from his region thought of him as a hero while his enemies called him a criminal.
This happens often in places devastated by civil war. So, he is the type of huge public personality who will always attract comments and jokes.

Pancho Villa was no saint. He was your typical arrogant thieving mexican who did whatever he liked without any regard for anyone. If he did give money to the poor it was only to gain support. Like what Pablo Escobar did in Columbia.

He was a bandit that would have robbed from the poor if the poor had any money. He would make raids across the the border and then run back across so that the lawmen could not follow him on Mexican soil.
