This article analyzes the life of Salvador Medrano, a migrant worker and secondary figure who lived through the transition from the Porfiriato to the Mexican Revolution. It argues that it is valuable to explore his experiences because they cover a period of changes in Mexican and U.S. history and help us understand the way in which a large area of both countries underwent a transformation at the end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth. Over the course of his life, Medrano lived in a variety of work destinations in northern Mexico and the southwestern U.S. that had emerged thanks to growing capital investments. He also participated in a political revolt that attempted to overthrow Díaz in 1893, and in the twentieth century, joined the Mexican Liberal Party and the Mexican Revolution.

Palabras llave : mobility; Mexico; United States; nineteenth-twentieth centuries; Porfirio Díaz; Mexican Liberal Party; Mexican Revolution.
