Abstract
The first half of this two-part article provides an overview of primary causes that led a crowd of people to coalesce with the revolutionary movement of 1910.The second half displays the disappointment produced by that very movement to those whosaw themselves immersed in “the bunch”, those who won and, of course, those who ended up incorporating themselves to the revolutionary state. Beyond the historiography of the armed movement, the second part of this article points towards the Mexican revolutionary literature such as novels, stories, memoirs, etcetera. to explain the intimate, everyday reasons that launched these revolutionary actors to grab their guns and enter into action.
