Back to punitive expedition to Mexico. A recently uncovered statment made by Col. Slocum ( commanded the forces at Columbus March 1916) to another army officer stated that the real reason for Villa's raid on Columbus was to kidnap (Slocums) wife for ransom. She was the daughter of a back east millionaire. And Slocum and Villa knew each other well.
Slocum made this comment at a dinner party in 1927. In total confidence to the officer. He stated no reason for this other that his own Intel at the time. He had long sense retired from service.
Now, this is interesting.
