Just a poor boy, from a poor family…

Don’t try looking up this photo on “tineye”… it’s not there (I checked).
IF this teenager is who historians believe he is, than this is the earliest known portrait of a Mexican whose pathway out of poverty and obscurity was of such an ingenious nature that many prominent people in the United States were eager to meet with him… so avid to make his acquaintance in fact, that officials disseminated the kid’s later photos throughout parts of the United States, along with offers of substantial financial remuneration to anyone able to affect an encounter with the fascinating fellow … dead or alive.
I know you know him.

Not sure, but Pancho Villa ticks off enough of my boxes to get me to guess here.
It’s probably Doroteo Arrango.
Correction…If it is in fact Pancho Villa, then at the time this photo was taken, then his name would have been José Doroteo Arango Arámbula.

Is it Felipe Calderon ??
