Answer to Bi-metallic Quiz Game question #785
He fought side by side with Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, but as a trained military cavalry soldier was much better at the strategy of fighting for independence from Spanish rule.  The heated disagreements with Hidalgo probably lengthened the war but in the end both were captured and executed after being betrayed by Ignacio Elizondo.  Who is this Mexican Patriot who appears on the 2010 Bi-metallic Five Pesos?
The answer to this question is Heriberto Jara.
