About This Item
El Paso, TX: R. A. Ugalde, 1915. Very good. 8¾" x 5¾". Pink, stapled, photographically illustrated thin card wrappers. Pp. 18. Very good with light edge wear and toned leaves.
This is a Spanish-language biography of Pascual Orozco printed in El Paso, Texas. The author laid out the contents of the pamphlet on the cover, separating the work into nine sections. It also relayed the author's assurance of truth to the text therein. Two women were listed as sources, one a female author of "los días del héroe":
"The data contained here is true, as I have collected them from the most authoritative sources, and I do not hesitate to consider this humble work as worthy of consultation. The august and venerable author of the days of the hero and his most respectable widow are two of those sources. The other data have been provided to me by high and prestigious bosses who, like General Marcelo Caraveo, were witnesses and companions of the favorite son of Chihuahua."
Two pages are dedicated to Orozco's early history and are followed sections detailing his rise to prominence as a revolutionary leader.
The final section of the book was dedicated to Orozco's "alleged insubordination," where the author conveyed the story of Orozco's break with Francisco Madero, even providing quotes of conversations between the two.
Also of note is the photographic portrait of Orozco's children printed on the recto of the rear wrapper. They are referred to as "the little orphans of General Orozco," inside the rear cover.
OCLC locates 13 copies over four entries; two copies presently available online, one of which has white wrappers; we are also offering a variant in grey wrappers.
