| | It was as a delegate of this party to the Comintern that Reed returned to Russia. | | | According to his own writings, he left Portland as soon as he could, to attend Harvard University in 1906, from which he would graduate in 1910. | | | Although Reed College's unofficial and tongue-in-cheek motto is "Atheism, Communism, and Free Love", there is no truth to this rumor. |

| | JOHN REED--REPORTING ON THE REVOLUTION |
| | Reed was unequivocally on the side of the Villistas and Zapatistas, to the point of having to run for his life during a battle at La Cadena. | | | The year John Reed graduated from Harvard, 1910, was also a year in which the US stood on the brink of a period of tempestuous class struggle. | | | State repression continued unabated--in one case three men convicted of distributing leaflets against intervention in Russia were sentenced to 20 years in prison--and it almost destroyed the Communist Parties. |

| | John Reed was born in 1887 in "Cedar Hill," his grandfather’s "big house on the hill above the city" where his parents had lived since their marriage and would for at least three more years. | | | Reed was a westerner and words meant what they said; when he said something standing with a classmate at the Harvard Club bar; he meant what he said from the soles of his feet to the waves of his untidy hair…Jack Reed was the best American writer of his time. | | | After his father’s death, Jack Reed remained with his mother through October in his most extended stay in Portland since leaving for boarding school in 1904. |

| | John's father, C.J. Reed, was a salesman from New York who, in 1887, wed one of Portland's richest debutantes and landed a seat in the city's most privileged club. | | | C.J. Reed secretly hated the pretensions of Portland's snobbish nouveau riche and became famous for his thinly cloaked jests about Arlington Club associates' under-the-table legal and ethical scrapes. | | | "He was an extraordinary idealist who gave his life to social change wherever it was needed," says novelist Walt Curtis, Port-land's unofficial poet laureate and a scholar of John Reed-iana. |

| | Reed was disillusioned by this rejection which he never fully understood, and by evidence of corruption in the new state he had so warmly welcomed.But before he could act he fell ill at the age of thirty-three on October 17, 1920. | | | Although he was warmly received in Russia and made a member of the Executive Committee of the Third International, he lost favor to the representatives of the American Communist Party. | | | This supposition is born out by the lead actor's eerie physical similarity to John Reed. |

| | Tracing John Reed's 1914 Desert Route: The Haciendas |
| | It was not until many years after John Reed became known as the founder of the modern school of creative journalism for his Ten Days that Shook the World that Insurgent Mexico was dusted off and reprinted. | | | Unlike other journalists of his period who filed their reports from the comfort of "headquarters," Reed sought and found ways to join the revolutionary troops at the front. | | | In the first part of Insurgent Mexico, after filing initial descriptions from Ojinaga, Reed reports his travels some two hundred miles through the northern part of the state of Durango with a small guerrilla force, moving from hacienda to hacienda enroute to La Cadena where a small number of revolutionaries guarded a critical mountain pass. |
