AGAPITO TREVIÑO: La Cruel Mentira Del Cine Que Todo Monterrey Se Creyó

In 1854, the most feared bandit of his time was executed by firing squad in Monterrey. 🔫 Almost two hundred years later, when someone went to look for evidence of all the stories told about him, they found almost nothing. They called him White Horse. Ballads were written about him that are still being recorded today. A movie was made about him starring Pedro Infante. But when a researcher opened the files of his three trials, something didn't add up. 🐎 The white horse that gave him his nickname never appears in any document. 💰 What he stole in his entire life wouldn't even be enough for one dinner today. 👨‍👩‍👦 He was born to a father who never acknowledged him to anyone. 📜 A court-martial, with a future national hero in attendance, signed his death warrant. 🎙️ Almost a hundred years later, a radio drama transformed him into someone else entirely. This is NOT just the story of a bandit from the northeast. It's the story of how an entire city crafted, verse by verse, the hero it needed. How many stories from your own family are told today differently than how they actually happened? #AgapitoTreviño #CaballoBlanco #MonterreyHistory #NuevoLeón #DarkPlacesOfTheNortheast #MexicanCorridos #HistoryOfMexico #TraditionalCorridos #PopularCulture #MexicanMusic #MexicanLegends #TrueStories #RegionalMexicanMusic #MexicanHeritage #OralTradition #MexicanBandits #RegionalHistory #MexicanRobinHood #Banditism #NortheastMexico #HistoricalTrueCrime #HiddenHistory #LegendsOfMonterrey
