that history, they are big into promoting stuff like Tombstone etc. That and many Arizonans come from elsewhere and probably have only heard the name (at most) and chalk it up to Wild West legend. There's a Pancho Villa state park in New Mexico, too. For me, the old border skirmishes and the Mexican American War are just interesting long-ago history, and not something I would get upset over, but yeah, I can see how it's a little traitorous in the light the author describes it.
