Che Guevara, 1928 - 1967
CHE GUEVARA
1928 - 1967

 

Che Guevara's full name was Ernesto Guevara de la Serna.

He was a pro when it came to guerrilla warfare, no matter what country. Che buddied up with the Castro brothers and together they fought the Cuban Revolution.

On October 8, 1967, Che Guevara was killed while forming a guerrilla unit in Bolivia.

Some people say, the body has been returned to Cuba, others say, it's still in Bolivia. That little discrepancy aside, people are excited about the auctioning in October 2007 of one of Guevara's hair locks by Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas. Bidding starts at $100,000.

October 28, 2007 - the auction is over. The lock went to a Mr Bill Butler of Houston, Texas.
