Gustavo A. Madero
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gustavo A. Madero (1875 – 18 February 1913), born in Parras de la Fuente, Coahuila, Mexico, was a participant in the Mexican Revolution against Porfirio Díaz along with other members of his wealthy family.
Madero's brother, Francisco I. Madero, was president of Mexico (1911-1913). During the coup d'etat in Mexico City known as La decena tragica (Ten days of insurrection), Gustavo Madero was killed after being tortured in 1913 by order of Victoriano Huerta (and American ambassador Henry Lane Wilson).
A section of Mexico's Distrito Federal was named after Gustavo A. Madero.
