Title: Ministerio de Relaciones Interiores y Esteriores. El Exmo. Sr. Vice-Presidente Interino de los Estados-Unidos Mexicanos, Se Ha Servido Dirigirme el Decreto Que Sigue: "Valentin Gomez Farias, Vice-Presidente Interino de los Estados-Unidos Mexicanos..." [caption title and first line of text]
Author: [Mexican-American War]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Near fine.
Description: Mexico City: February 15, 1847. Near fine.. [1]pp. Quarto on a folded folio sheet. A rare Mexican decree in which the acting Vice President of Mexico, Valentin Gomez Farías gives President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna permission to leave office and fight the Mexican-American War in person. Shortly following the date that this announcement was made, Santa Anna gathered roughly 14,000 troops to fight General Zachary Taylor’s army of 5,000 men at the Battle of Buena Vista. The proclamation is largely ceremonial, since Santa Anna had already been in the field with his army for several weeks, but it is nevertheless an interesting artifact of the northern campaign of the Mexican-American War. Signed in print by the Minister of Internal and Foreign Affairs, José María Ortiz Monasterio; OCLC reports just one copy, at Yale.
