Juan C. Doria
1840-1869
He was born in 1840. At the age of nine he was sent to Linares, Nuevo León, to pursue his studies. At fourteen he passed philosophy and continued studying in Monterrey and Mexico. He graduated as a lawyer in the days of the French Intervention. He was Secretary of Government of the State of Nuevo León. In 1865, being political chief and military commander of Linares, he organized a cavalry force with which he presented to General Mariano Escobedo. He created the Corps of Cazadores de Galeana whom the imperialist soldiers feared, because they were armed with new American rifles, equipped with a system of repetition of sixteen shots.
When Escobedo occupied Monterrey and ruled Nuevo León, Doria served him as secretary. As the commander of the Cazadores de Galeana he followed Escobedo, including during the siege of Querétaro, actively participating under the orders of General Sóstenes Rocha. At the triumph of the Republic he was a senior officer of the Secretary of War. In January 1869 he was appointed Provisional Governor of the newly created State of Hidalgo, a position he held until the following May. He died that same year, still in the prime of his youth.
