An illuminating examination of a period in history and the role Zach Lamar Cobb played in the United State's military involvement in the Mexican Revolution. In addition to serving as the El Paso collector of customs, Cobb also acted as an intelligence agent for the Department of State. His role as an intelligence agent brought him in contact with Pancho Villa, Alva Obregon, the future president of Mexico and General John J. Pershing, and his intelligence reports often influenced American policy during this turbulent era in U.S.-Mexico history.
