General Máximo Castillo (1864–1919) was a brigadier general in the Mexican Revolution (ca. 1910-1920) who fought for agrarian reform in Northern Mexico. Castillo was born poor and worked as an itinerant farm worker for part of his life. Upon returning to his native Chihuahua, Castillo joined the Mexican Revolution and became Francisco Madero's personal bodyguard. Disillusioned by the slowness of Madero's reforms once he gained power, Castillo quickly joined the armed opposition to the Madero government. He was imprisoned in the United States after the government had accused him of sabotaging a train. In his internment, he wrote a series of memoirs which form the basis from which historians study his life today. He died at the age of 55.
