Mesa Verde was a Mexican town which was the site of a Mexican Army prison camp during the Mexican Revolution. Mesa Verde was a wealthy town with an opulent train station, and it was governed by the tyrannical Don Jaime during the early 1910s. Don Jaime used the bank as an internment camp for political prisoners, and, in 1913, the bank was assaulted by Romulo Villega and John H. Mallory's revolutionaries and by Juan Miranda's banditos, resulting in the freeing of hundreds of prisoners.
