| Additional information |
Hermenegildo Galeana was a mixed-race muleteer from the Costa Chica region who became one of José María Morelos's most effective field commanders during Mexico's war of independence. He died in 1814 at Palmillas when, according to accounts, he turned back to retrieve his fallen hat and was shot — a death so circumstantially undignified that it has attracted skepticism from historians ever since.
