Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Mexico The following volume is the outcome of a visit paid to Mexico in the early part of the present year. I had only just returned from the Balkans, where I had accompanied the Servian Army in the war against Turkey, when the editor of the Daily Telegraph commissioned me to proceed to Mexico and investigate the conditions prevailing there. Several of the chapters now included in this book originally appeared in that journal, but these have been, for the most part, rewritten, and some new matter has been added. It was also thought advisable to include an historical sketch, in order that the reader might be able to trace the origin of the Republic and form some appreciation of the causes of Mexican unrest. In dealing with recent events I may appear to some people to take a too adverse view of the results of the policy and administration of the late President Madero. The conclusions arrived at in this respect were formed only after a careful investigation of the evidence available in Mexico itself. The same remark applies to the criticisms made with reference to the attitude of the United States towards the de facto Government of the Republic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Intimate Pages of Mexican History This book, concerning the four Presidents of Mexico whom I have personally known, contains only what I have seen myself, or what, by word of mouth and eye in eye, I have learned from those intimately connected with the men and events of which it speaks. In the chapters relating to Huerta there will be found, however, some considerations of the phenomena presented by Hispano-Indian politics, which are as distinct from those of the United States as are the flora and fauna of the two countries. Without some study of them, Mexico will continue to be a Terra Ignota, resembling, on any chart prepared for American use, those portions of the globe in seventeenth century maps represented by blank spaces embellished with scroll-like patterns. But the tides which ebb and flood under the Mexican moon wash shores whereon the laws of climate and of race, though so diverse, operate as definitely as do our own. These differences are shown in great relief by the figure of Huerta, in whom race, environment, and tradition present themselves in the most specific form, for he always ran true to type, and acted and reacted along secular lines.

Book Synopsis The Civilization of Ancient Mexico (Classic Reprint) by : Lewis Spence
Download or read book The Civilization of Ancient Mexico (Classic Reprint) written by Lewis Spence and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civilization of Ancient Mexico Since the time of Prescott no attempt appears to have been made to collate and present within reasonable compass for popular consumption the vast amount of matter, ancient and modern, relating to the history of the Mexican people. The author does not claim to have done this. Others have attempted it, but have usually presented it with their considerations upon other American civilizations. The purpose of this book is to provide not only a merely popular history of Ancient Mexico, but such a sketch of the subject as will appeal to serious students who may Wish to adopt the study of Mexican antiquities. In its scope nothing has been included which is not strictly verifiable from original sources. Speculation has not been altogether abandoned, but has been omitted except in those instances where reasons of special import called for it. At the same time whilst doubtful matter has been almost ruth lessly eliminated, such traditions as appeared to possess any substratum of fact and value from their bearing upon Mexican history, have not been altogether ignored, but have been included in the chapter upon the history of the Nahuan peoples, care being taken to draw particular attention to their legendary origin.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of Mexico, Vol. 1 From the outset, however, it was evident that the charm of such an adventure might be complicated by the necessity for an unusual amount of archaeological impedimenta, my objec tive being ancient Mexico, not modern Mexico, where almost every trace of the old splendour was long ago obliterated by Christian zeal.

In a letter, written eighteen months before his death, he says, I pro posed to devote ten years of my life to the study of ancient and modern literature, chie y the latter, and to give ten years more to some historical work. I have had the good fortune to accomplish this design pretty nearly within the limits assigned. In the Christmas of 1837 my first work was given to the public.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Mexico Of the Mexican people, with their progress, their genius, and their aspirations, with their possibilities and prospects. Of books on Mexico published in English during the present generation the most were written by hasty travelers or conventional compilers, whose views and portraitures are inevitably immature, partial, or exaggerated. Their more important and characteristic qualities, gifts, and aims, lie too deeply in the nature of the Mexican people to be clearly discerned and duly appreciated by the passing tour ist or the nonresident compiler. The richest treas ures Of information, too, regarding their traditions and history, their struggles, conflicts, and achieve ments, are tomes in Spanish, Italian, or other lan guages not Often either accessible or intelligible to such writers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of Mexico After a Short stay in England he returned to Boston, and desired, in spite of his failing sight, to lead a life of literary occupation. It may seem strange that one, who in his college days had only the ambition of learning as much literature as a gentleman ought to know, and who had never been able to accustom himself to habits Of industry, should now consecrate his energies to literary pursuits but the last six years of his life had been years of stem discipline, and during the long days spent in the dark room, graver thoughts and a nobler ambition had filled his mind. The difficulties before him were great. His classical studies, it is true, had never been neglected, but his deficiencies in modern literature were considerable. Of English he had had as much perhaps read to him as most people Of his age had read to themselves. Of French literature he knew nothing; and of Spanish and Italian he had merely a schoolboy's knowledge. Moreover, he had constantly to fight against a tendency to waste his time, while the necessity of forming fixed habits of work was a task of no little difficulty. He determined to begin from the very elements, and, wisely too, to begin with English. He studied as if he were a schoolboy, beginning with Lindley Murray's grammar, and Johnson's dictionary, and then reading carefully the best authors, from Ascham and Bacon to those of his own time. Thus a year passed Then, hav1ng finished this course, he turned to French literature, going, as he says, deeper and wider than he had done in English. Italian came next, and then Spanish. German, however, he was compelled, owing to his weak sight, to abandon. He now felt competent to begin the real task of writing a history, and searched for a subject. After some hesitation he decided on a history of the times of Ferdinand and Isabella. To enable him to attempt the work, a secretary, Mr. English, was engaged to read to him for five or Six hours every day. Prescott was in no hurry. For the next three and a half years he was Collecting materials, and then only commenced the actual composition so that it was not till the year 1837 (or thirteen years after the time at which he decided on his subject) that Ferdinand and Isabella was fairly delivered to the world.

Book Synopsis The Mexican People by : Gutierrez De Lara
Download or read book The Mexican People written by Gutierrez De Lara and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mexican People: Their Struggle for Freedom This book is deliberately given the title of "The Mexican People: Their Struggle for Freedom." We know that to the average mind Mexico and freedom seem almost antithetical terms; that is why we wrote this book. The Mexican people have democratic traditions as grand, pure, and sane as those of any race in the world. Like all peoples, they have suffered bitter oppression at the hands of their own master class, but unlike the majority of peoples their weakness has made of them the peculiar prey of the foreign exploiter as well. For a hundred years they have maintained the bloodiest, most heroically abandoned fight for their liberties, not only against their own master class but against that master class leagued with Spain, with the United States, with France, and with England. We have long wished to tell of this struggle. It constitutes one of the most exalted dramas of the social process. If by this book, wrought out amidst many difficulties, we shall awaken the spirit of brotherhood and understanding in the hearts of some, for the battling proletariat of Mexico, our work will not have been without reward.

Download or read book The Mexican Southland (Classic Reprint) written by Kamar Al-Shimas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mexican Southland It is with a feeling of deep satisfaction that I lay down my pen upon having translated from the original Persian the last line of Kamar al-shimas' great work on southern Mex ico; for not only is the field one hitherto uncovered by any writer, but the work itself is of such exceptional value, the author's insight into local conditions is so profound, that in making the translation I can not but think I have conferred a special favor upon all lovers of Mexico. As to the form of translation, I have thought it in the best interests of all concerned that it be phrased in the most approved modern diction, in a few places only, where the ex pression was peculiarly happy, preserving the antique phrase ology of the venerable author. In these few instances I feel sure a discriminating public will approve my action. Not much need be said on behalf of the original work, which speaks for itself. The field, as has been noted, is in large measure a new one. While the American reading public is annually deluged with a fresh assortment of books upon Mexico, these books are invariably either limited to the north ern or central parts of the republic, or are superficial accounts of the whole country written by some globe trotter who has seen much and noted little. Only occasionally are as much as a dozen pages devoted to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. On the other hand the work of our master deals exclusively with southern Mexico. Nor is this its only merit; the author's style is in pleasing contrast with the flamboyant, would-be witty style which characterizes so many travel books of the day. His words are packed with information and no attempt is made to hide a paucity of matter beneath a superabundance of phrases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the North Mexican States, Vol. 1: 1531-1800 The territorial basis of the present work, fourth in the completed series, and entitled history OF the north mexican states, corresponds to the modern Texas, Coahuila, Durango, Chihuahua, New Mexico, Sinaloa, Sonora, Arizona, and the two Californias; but the history of New Mexico, Arizona, and Upper California is here given only in the briefest outline, because fully treated in separate works. To the eastern provinces of Texas and Coahuila much less space proportionately is devoted than to regions fur ther west; somewhat more to Chihuahua and Sonora than to Durango and Sinaloa in the south; and Baja California, by reason-not only of its geographic posi tion but of its historic importance, receives more attention than its rank in modern times alone would justify. These provinces are variously grouped at successive epochs as is required for clearness and con venience of presentment; but of each it is the author's aim to portray in all desirable detail the earliest annals of discovery, exploration, conquest, and conversion; while later periods of routine development are not neglected, though treated on a different scale. Maps are introduced somewhat more plentifully than else where to Show the advance of Spanish dominion north.

This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Mexico's Standard Guide to the City of Mexico and Vicinity T has been said that throughout the world there is not such a splendid scene as the first View of Mexico City, the capital of the Mexican Republic. Nestling in a valley of surpassing beauty and like a jewel in its setting of silvery lakes and dark-green hills, the belfries and towers of its hundred churches and palaces are mirrored against a sky that baffles all description. It was this sight that inspired the feelings of awe, of wonder and admiration in the bosom of Hernan Cortez, as he stood with his little band of adventurers upon the crest of one of the surrounding hills and looked down upon the capital of the Moctezumas for the first time. Such feelings are common with all tourists as they view Mexico City from any of the surrounding elevations. But it is not the beautiful scene that alone inspires. It is the new sensation that awakens the imagination, that brings into play all the emotions, as the reminiscences come of the mighty conflicts that have dyed every foot Of the city's soil, of the many people and races who have made it their home. Here are the ruins of a civilization, thousands Of years before history commenced. Here was the home of Moctezuma, and there under the giant trees of Chapultepec, dreamt of the coming of the white god from across the seas. Here the flags of a hundred different governments have flown to the breeze. Here Maximilian raised his imperial standard which brought death to him at the end. All Mexico inspires the same interest, but here in the capital it reaches its climax. The City of Mexico is the object point of all tourists, and naturally so. It is distinctive and individual, and is rapidly becoming modern in every respect. Its streets are wide and handsome, its Paseo de la Reforma one of the world's most beautiful drives; its hundreds of churches are evidence of the wealth and liberality of the people; its stores compare favorably with those Of Paris or London.

This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Thousand Miles Through the Heart of Mexico Mexico is a marvelous conglomerate of the ancient and the modern - the pathetic and the ludicrous. To gaze upon a country and mingle with a people of whom he had read much in various books had long been a cherished desire of his heart. And to be able to gratify that desire constituted an epoch in his life. When but a mere lad he had read the glowing accounts ofthe famous battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, the storming of Monterey, and the victory of Buena Vista, where the brave Taylor and his gallant troops won renown. He had also read of the bombardment of Vera Cruz and its capture, along with the Castle of San Juan d' Ulloa, the storming of the heights of Cerro Gordo, the battles of Contreras and Molino del Rey, and the fall of Chapultepec. Little did he then think that his feet would ever press the soil crimsoned with the blood of his countrymen in the far-away land of the Aztecs. Of course, in a tour through Mexico there were many points of special interest to be visited. In the following pages he has kept in view the history of the stirring events of the war of 1846 and 1847, interwoven alike, as they are, in the annals of our own as well as in those of our sister republic.
