Question

Pancho Villa (pictured to the right), the son of a poor farm laborer, became a folk hero in Mexico. He gained popularity by stealing from the rich in order to give to the poor. Villa's knowledge of the physical geography of northern Mexico helped him avoid being captured

Why would Pancho's geographic knowledge help him from being captured?
