About This Item
Huatusco: May 31, 1847. Very good.. Broadside decree, 17.5 x 11 inches. Printed on lined paper. Previously folded, with a couple of very small losses at central fold. Minor wear at edges. Light dust soiling and toning. A rare broadside decree that establishes guidelines for the collection of funds and donations for guerillas and their families continuing the fight against the American invasion around Veracruz in 1847. The important port city had fallen two months prior, and Santa Anna was routed at Cerro Gerro taken by Winfield Scott a month earlier. All that was left for Mexican forces in the region was sustained guerilla harassment of the American army. In this decree, a separate account from regular government monies is established for funds raised, and various government departments of the state of Veracruz are ordered to encourage donations and to publicize contributions, and children are even encouraged to contribute food to the soldiers. A desperate plea for a desperate situation; dated May 31, 1847, and signed in type by Veracruz state president Juan Soto in Huatusco, the temporary location of the displaced government. OCLC locates no other copies.
