Pedro Ogazón

Pedro Ogazón Rubio (Guadalajara, Jalisco; November 17, 1820 – Orizaba, Veracruz; February 27, 1890)[1][2] was a Mexican military officer and politician.

[4] Ogazón participated on the liberal side in the Reform War and distinguished himself in the Battle of Guadalajara, defeating the conservative general Severo Castillo.

During these two years, he left his cousin and general secretary Ignacio Vallarta in charge while he fought Manuel Lozada, "the Tiger of Álica," on multiple occasions.

[10] As a reward for his services, he was appointed Minister of War and Navy in the first Cabinets of Porfirio Díaz and Juan N. Méndez, from November 1876 to April 1878.

The latter adopted the artistic name Pedro Luis Ogazón, becoming one of the most prominent pianists of his time and a teacher of the celebrated Carlos Chávez.
