Specifikacia Esteban Cantu and the Mexican Revolution in Baja California Norte, 1910-1920
Outfoxing all other military and political personnel in the territory of Baja California Norte, Colonel Esteban Cant , on becoming governor, astutely played the leaders of the Mexican Revolution one against another. A compelling figure in the Mexican Revolution, he maintained his independence from Mexico City until he was forced from office in August 1920. While Cant was appointed governor by Venustiano Carranza, Pancho Villa, and Eulalio Gutierrez of the Convention Government, he followed their orders only when it suited him and published the laws of the government in Mexico City to give the appearance that he was loyal to the central power when in fact he was not. He was more concerned with neighboring Sonora and supported every anti-central government movement in that state to secure his own independence.When he gained power, Cant faced an indescribable morass of crime
