1974TEH004xiii346 pages with foldout map plates bibliography and index. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/4" bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering to black spine label in pictorial jacket. The Texas Pan American Series. First edition. The Cristero War or Cristero Rebellion 1926–1929 also known as La Cristiada was a widespread struggle in many central-western Mexican states against the secularist anti-Catholic and anticlerical policies of the Mexican government. The rebellion was set off by enactment under President Plutarco Elías Calles of a statute to enforce the anticlerical articles of the Mexican Constitution of 1917 also known as the Calles Law. Calles sought to eliminate the power of the Catholic Church and organizations affiliated with it as an institution and also suppress popular religious celebration in local communities. The massive popular rural uprising was tacitly supported by the Church hierarchy and was aided by urban Catholic support. US Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow brokered negotiations between the Calles government and the Church. The government made some concessions the Church withdrew its support for the Cristero fighters and the conflict ended in 1929. It can be seen as a major event in the struggle between Church and State dating back to the 19th century with the War of Reform but it can also be interpreted as the last major peasant uprising in Mexico following the end of the military phase of the Mexican Revolution in 1920.

1927A0559117 pages with errata at back. pictures through out. Duodecimo7" x 4 1/2". First edition.<br /><br /> For six years following the Yaqui disaster at Buatachive Colonel later General and Governor of Sonora Lorenzo Torres made efforts to establish a peaceful administration of the Yaqui country. Surveys were made and land was assigned to the few Yaqui families who would accept it under the conditions of Mexican management. A mopping up of resistant Yaquis was carried on. At the end of two years a body count of 356 including both men and women killed in encounters with Mexican soldiers was recorded and about 4000 Yaquis were taken prisoner and assigned land Troncoso 1905: 203-228. Fewer than half of the latter seem to have stayed in the Yaqui country. Guerrilla warfare increasingly developed which was carried on by small Yaqui forces maintaining themselves around the waterholes in the Bacatete Mountains. The name of Juan Maldonado called Tetabiate by Yaquis became prominent as the ablest of the guerrilla leaders. During 1896 Mexican forces protecting Mexicans who were being encouraged to settle in the Yaqui country made contract with Juan Maldonado Hernandez 1902: 150-161; Troncoso 1905: 229-234. Colonel Peinado working through a Yaqui interpreter named Juan Buitemea carried on negotiations. Peinado arranged for the formal signing of a peace treaty at the railroad station of Ortiz west of the Bacatete Mountains. On May 15.1897 Governor Ramon Corral General Luis Torres and other state officials came to Ortiz by special train. A platform had been erected and white flags with the single word "Peace" had been prepared for distribution to the Yaquis. Juan Maldonado with 390 Yaquis consisting of 74 families arrived from the mountains and he with his lieutenant Loreto Villa took up positions on the platform with the Mexican officials. The peace flags were given out to the Yaquis and Maldonado and Villa signed a treaty of peace. Tetabiate was then given the title of Captain General of the Yaqui and took up headquarters at Torim with the Mexican troops. In 1899 less than two years later there were indications of unrest among Yaquis in Bacum. Unnamed Yaquis there refused to deal with Loreto Villa Maldonado's second in command and sent him back to General Lorenzo Torres with a demand that Mexican troops and all other Mexicans leave the eight Yaqui towns and the whole lower Yaqui River valley. General Torres reported that there were indications of a well-planned rebellion and that 3000 Yaquis were under arms. He organized an expedition to the eastern towns but found that Juan Maldonado would not join him to put down the threatened rebellion. Instead he joined the rebels and led them into the Bacatete Mountains. It is not recorded how many joined his command Troncoso 1905: 23839. The Mexican occupation forces immediately began a campaign to hunt down the guerrilla fighters who steadily increased in number after the defection of Tetabiate. General Lorenzo Torres led several expeditions. On January 18 1900 three columns of his soldiers encountered a party of Yaquis in the heart of the Bacatete Mountains Hernandez 1902: 172-75; Troncoso: 284-87. The Yaquis mostly on foot were pursued into a box canyon in a rugged portion of the mountains. After a battle lasting all day the Yaquis ceased fighting. The soldiers had killed 397 men women and some children; "many" had committed suicide by jumping over cliffs; and 1000 women and children were taken prisoner. In the encounter General Torres reported that he had lost 30 soldiers and officers killed. Among the Yaqui dead was a man Torres reported as being "Opodepe" reputed to be the Yaqui supreme chief and the "soul of the rebellion." It was estimated nevertheless that there were still 900 Yaqui guerrillas in the mountains. Numerous expeditions were carried out against the guerrillas during the following months. By the end of 1900 General Torres estimated that there were only 300 Yaquis left alive in the mountains. The following year in a small engagement at a place called Bacatete troops mopping up under the command of Loreto Villa former lieutenant of Tetabiate and now a Major in the Mexican army killed Tetabiate who was accompanied by only a few other Yaquis.<br /><br /><b> Condition:</b>Front wrapper chipped with tears and lacking heal corner soiled loose from spine a good copy.

1996CA0140254 pages with one plate. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/2" bound in original wrappers. Edited by Patricia Escandon.<br /><br />Alonso de la Rea was born in Queretaro in 1610. He wrote his Cronica in 1637-1639 providing data on Michoacán and Jalisco. For many matters he leaned heavily on Torquemada who in turn had copied them from Mendieta. Ricard quoting an 18th century opinion mentions that Rea lacked interest in chronology to an excessive degree. His work was however an official and methodical chronicle of the province preserving considerable detail about it. Rea's Cronica . 1639 was first published in 1643 and is now a bibliographical rarity. The volume is divided into three books totaling 92 chapter. Book 1 describes the region products people their dealings with Aztecs their general traits religious rites the last native emperors and coming of the Spaniards. This is followed by arrival of the Franciscan missionaries with biographies of some of these pioneer friars. Book 2 begins with the division of the province between Michoacán and Jalisco 1606 and contains numerous biographies of the members of that order. Book 3 is also a series of lives and an account of the Custodio del Rio Verde. The second edition was published in Mexico 1882.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />A fine copy.
