The Raid on Buena Noche was a raid during the Mexican Revolution where supporters of the American soldier of fortune Emil Lewis Holmdahl, raided the Buena Noche Mine, near Rosario.
Raid
Holmdahl esblished a stronghold deep in the mountains following his defeat at Tepic, and only a few weeks later he began making preparations to raid the Buena Noche Mine near Rosario, where he hoped to steal enough dynamite to start a bomb factory from where he could launch an attack upon Rosario itself.[1] With a band of 22 men Holmdahl raided the mine, where he stole 27 cases of dynamite.[2]
Aftermath
Holmdahl started a bomb factory at his mountain hideout, and when enough were constructed he was ready to attack Rosario alongside Martin Epsinosa.
