Crescencio Poot

Crescencio Poot (c. 1820–1885) was a leading general in the Caste War of Yucatán.

This meant generally avoiding government troops, but he did achieve a major victory in the Yucatán.

At one point, Bernardino Cen, the commander of the rebel army, killed his two sons in a drunken rage and was temporarily replaced by Poot.

It is believed her children took her maiden name and fled to Texas or deep into Mexico.

A few years later, Poot would become the Chan Santa Cruz general in charge of making major decisions and organizing raids and skirmishes.
