Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rival Chieftains: Or, the Brigands of Mexico, a Tale of Santa Anna and His Times Mexico - the land of revolutions, as it may be justly termed - has, ever since its invasion by the hardy Spaniards, presented a more prolific field for writers of fiction than perhaps any other country on the globe; and for abundance of materiel the romancer need not go back to the days of Montezurna and Cortez, or even to the era of the extinction of the Spanish dominion, but merely turn to events which have transpired within his own memory - to the seven revolutions which have succeeded each other in rapid succession since eighteen hundred and twenty one, and which the novelist has left almost untouched. The colossal and romantic grandeur of the scenery of the country - the peculiar character of its people - the magnificence and wealth of its cities - the lawless bands of free rovers who in fest its forests and mountains - all combine to throw a sort of enchantment over it, to the minds of those who are conversant with the history of the El Dorado of the New World. The prominent events of the few past years lend an additional interest to this ill-fated country; events which have been characterized by as bloody and cruel deeds as ever blackened the pages of Mexican or Spanish history.
