Great story at the New York Times at this link.
http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/14/a-mexican-immigrants-act-of-honor/
It is about a Mexican immigrant to the then Arizona territory who was a successful business person and was loyal to the United States of America even though the Confederate sympathizers confiscated all his property when he refused to pledge loyalty to the Confederacy.
I think it will be a great story for Cinco de Mayo.
See my earlier blog on Cinco de Mayo here:
