Francisco Goodspeed

Francisco Goodspeed was an army officer in the armed forces of the United States of Mexico.

Goodspeed was the general commanding the Mexican First Army in 1890 during the outbreak of the War for Salvation between Mexico and New Granada. Following Admiral Frank Butland's capture of La Guaira and Caracas in early March 1890, General Goodspeed's forces landed in the captured cities, then fanned out to take control of the eastern areas of New Granada, while the 34th Marine Brigade under Colonel David Brewster advanced from Santa Marta to the New Granadan capital of Bogotá, which they captured on 8 June.

General Goodspeed does not have an entry in Sobel's index.

Sobel's sources for Francisco Goodspeed's role in the War for Salvation is John Earley's A History of the New Granada Expedition (New York, 1914); and Miguel Olin's El Jefe's War for Salvation (New York, 1956).
