San Martín
At first glance one might perceive this work by the distinguished historian John Lynch as a mere biography. However, this is not case. Once you begin to read you find a highly nuanced study that sheds serious new light on both the life and times of one of the greatest figures of the Latin American wars of independence, José de San Martín. Lynch brings to life the inner man and his psyche as it influenced his actions, which had a decided impact up…
Patrons, Partisans, and Palace Intrigues
This book is an interesting story of greed, corruption, and the clash of local Mexican interests versus those of the newly formed Spanish Bourbon monarchy under Philip V. It is one of the few studies in English concerning a viceregal tenure, and certainly the only in print concerning a Mexican viceroy during the early eighteenth century. For that alone, author Christoph Rosenmüller should be commended. In addition, the book sheds some light on th…
The Treasure of the San José
On the fateful night of June 8, 1708, a mighty Spanish galleon sunk beneath the sea after a clash with superior British forces near the entrance to the port of Cartagena; but her saga did not end there. The San José, because of the stories which swirled after its demise, became a matter of historical legend and mystery. Carla Rahn Phillips’s newest historical offering is not just the history of a ship but rather an account of the waning years (an…
Building the King's Highway
Building the King’s Highway is a welcome addition to the historical literature on colonial Mexico specifically and Latin America in general. Very little has been published in English concerning the construction and maintenance of Mexico’s caminos reales. Hence, this well-crafted study helps to fill this void and perhaps will lead others to build on this very important topic.According to his purposes and the available documentary sources, Castlema…
Miguel Costansó and his 1799 report on the defenses of Veracruz
Miguel Costanso arrived in Veracruz during the spring of 1764, at twenty-three years of age, after having entered the prestigious Spanish Royal Corps of Engineers only two years earlier. While in New Spain, he participated in many important tasks. In 1767 he accompanied Colonel Domingo Elizondo on an expedition to Sonora and in January 1768 he helped to draft the plans for the settlement of Upper California. By the date of his 1799 report on the …
