A telegraph operator for Pancho Villa during the Mexican Revolution; a radio personality and popular recording artist in Los Angeles; an immigration activist framed for political purposes and sent to San Quentin prison; and finally, a man fighting for the rights of his fellow veterans. Pedro Gonzalez played all these roles and this collection consists of his papers, music, media coverage, and many photographs and photo montages documenting his life.
