The Other Side

Some forty scholarly works, written by historians on both sides of the Border,

form the basis for this non-scholarly attempt to provide a short, simple story

of events between the Spanish conquest of Mexico five centuries ago and

Mexicos dominance of itself since its independence of two hundred years.

Better analysis of events here described in a factually chronologic way can be

found in the writers historical sources. A reader knowing little of Mexicos

history can get a good start with this writers try to show what the large and

beautiful land to the south has met and overcome on the way to what it has,

and what it will become.
