La Culebra Verde

Edit

La Culebra Verde ("The Green Snake") was a bar in Baroyeca, Sonora, C.S.A. It was a popular watering hole for the farmers and miners of the town, especially after Freedom Party meetings. Hipolito Rodriguez enjoyed La Culebra Verde, but his wife Magdalena did not approve.

After the Second Great War, Jorge, Hipolito's son, would have a drink here whenever he came to town. On one occasion, he met Freedom Party organizer Robert Quinn who had disembarked from a train after being released from a POW camp. The two had a drink in the cantina and Quinn tried to recruit Jorge into a clandestine revival of the Party which he refused.[1] Another night he became drunk and barely managed to stagger home much to his mother's disgust. Unbeknownst to his family, he had drank heavily out of guilt from secretly informing on Quinn to the occupying U.S. authorities in order to keep his brother from getting involved in Quinn's plans.[2]
