Produktbeschreibung
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.
