Maud Wright was taken hostage on the evening of March 1, 1916, at her ranch in northern Chihuahua and forced to ride with
the Villista troops to Columbus, New Mexico. After the raid she went to Juárez, where she was reunited with her son, Johnnie.
This photo was taken by the Carrancista government to prove the child had been returned safely to Maud.

Nicolás Fernández, seated on Villa’s right, was the officer who took Maud Wright hostage. He was one of Villa’s closest confidants
and was present when Villa was given amnesty in 1920 by the Mexican government.

Villa loved sweets and often stopped at the Elite Confectionary in El Paso for a bowl of ice cream with his friends.
