I had read in the Military History Quarterly that Pancho Villa came across all along the border from Texas to New Mexico several times. He attacked the town of Columbus, NM, but had been picking off individual ranchers for a significant amount of time before that incident.

"Actually Pancho Villa attacked Columbus, New Mexico."

So; he didn't actually attack the U.S.A.? Another internet myth?
