1 drawing : India ink over pencil, with scraping out on bristol board ; 31.7 x 57.3 cm. (sheet) The cartoon illustrating U.S. mistrust, shows Carranza, seated at a table with Uncle Sam dressed in American military uniform. Carranza, reading him the "Last Will and Testament of Pancho Villa" says, "And to you he leaves the--what-you-call-it?--the 'Merry Ha-Ha'!" implying that the joke is on him. Uncle Sam meanwhile, looks out of the window behind Carranza at a tombstone labeled, "Here Lies Villa." The first and the last words are lightly blocked out and a dotted line indicates that Uncle Sam's gaze is fixed only on the word "Lies." No known restrictions on publication. No renewal in Copyright Office. No copyright information found with item. Signed, lower left: Bradley. Bequest and gift; Caroline and Erwin Swann; 1977; (DLC/PP-1977:215.61) After the Mexican people switched their allegiance from Pancho Villa to Venustiano Carranza, the United States government took note and endorsed Carranza. Villa, in retaliation, murdered seventeen Americans in a massacre at Santa Isabel (January, 1916) and raided Columbus, New Mexico (March, 1916). In response, President Woodrow Wilson sent a punitive expedition to apprehend and bring to justice Villa and his followers responsible for the carnage. Carranza, opposed to American intervention, eventually sent a note to the U.S. suggesting a recall of its troops. On April 17, following unsubstantiated reports of Villa's death, ostensibly set forth by Carranza authorities, The New York Times reported that American forces would retreat only if Villa's demise could be proven, and that despite Mexican accusations to the contrary, the U.S. sent the punitive expedition with the approval of the Mexican government.
