Donato Guerra

Born in Jalisco, he participated in the Reform War (1857-1861) and in the French intervention (1861-1867). He joined the Plan de la Noria (1871) and Tuxtepec (1876) of Porfirio Díaz to oust Presidents Benito Juárez and Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada.^[1]

Guerra was an ally of Ángel Trías Álvarez [es], during his anti-government campaign of June 1875, but was captured on 18 September of the same year, and incarcerated in Ávalos, a suburb of Chihuahua City. He was assassinated in Ávalos by lerdistas in 1876, and interred in the Panteón de Dolores on 27 May 1896.^[2]

The town of Donato Guerra in the State of Mexico is named for him.
