Scarce Spanish-language novella authored by San Antonio resident and Nuevo Leon emigrant Maria Luisa Garza in the early 1920s. "Writing under the pen name Loreley Garza began her career writing articles that were published in the San Antonio Spanish-language newspapers La Prensa; La Época of which she became editor; and El Imparcial de Texas in which she launched her own weekly column 'Crónicas femeninas'; as well as the El Paso papers La Patria and La República. In 1922 she founded the magazine Alma Fememenia and published her first two novels La Novia de Nervo and Los Amores de Gaona. During her time in Texas Garza became an active member of a thriving literary community. At the time San Antonio was brimming with Spanish-language bookstores newspapers and publishing houses which became an integral part of an ideological movement called El México de Afuera'" -- Handbook of Texas Online. The text is styled as a submission to the author in which the protagonist Rodolfo Gaona reflects on his past and present loves romantic and otherwise. OCLC locates just a small handful of institutional copies only two of which in Texas -- at UTA and UTSA. Art Advertising Co unknown

Peñas reporting of Crockett´s death in particular ignited a firestorm of controversy. The English publication caused a scandal within the United States as it asserted that Crockett did not die in battle. Historians disagree on whether any or all of the book has been falsified. The original book was self-published and no editor or publisher ever vetted its authenticity. Sánchez Garza never explained how he gained custody of the documents or where they were stored after de la Peña's death. Some historians have found it suspicious that Sánchez Garza's compilation was published in 1955 at the height of interest in Crockett and the Alamo caused by Walt Disney's television miniseries Davy Crockett. Groneman also points out that the journals are made up of several different types of paper from several different paper manufacturers all cut down to fit. Historian Joseph Musso also questions the validity likewise basing his suspicions on the timing of the diary's release. The document's most energetic defender has been historian James Crisp who found an 1839 pamphlet by de la Peña in which the Mexican said he was preparing his diary for publication proof that if nothing else the Sanchez Garza text had a historical basis. Finally in 2001 archivist David Gracy published a detailed analysis of the manuscript including lab results. He found among other things that the paper and ink were of a type used by the Mexican army in the 1830s and the handwriting matched that on other documents in the Mexican military archives that were written or signed by de la Peña. Many have also questioned de la Peña's ability to identify any of the Alamo defenders by name. Many historians believe that de la Peña may have witnessed or been told about executions of some Alamo survivors but in fact neither he nor his comrades would have known who those men were.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> Leather spine ends rubbed corners bumped scuffed and rubbed some indentations in the pebbled boards else very good.</p> En los Talleres de "Impresora Mexicana" hardcover
