Calavar by Robert Montgomery Bird Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description It is now thirteen years since the first publication of "Calavar," which, apart from the ordinary objects of an author, was written chiefly with a view of illustrating what was deemed the most romantic and poetical chapter in the history of the New World; but partly, also, with the hope of calling the attention of Americans to a portion of the continent which it required little political forecast to perceive must, before many years, assume a new and particular interest to the people of the United States. It was a part of the original design to prepare the way for a history of Mexico, which the author meditated; a design which was, however, soon abandoned. There was then little interest really felt in Mexican affairs, which presented, as they have always done since the first insurrection of Hidalgo, a scene of desperate confusion, not calculated to elevate republican institutions in the opinions of the world. Even the events in Texas had not, at that time, attracted much attention. Mexico was, in the popular notion, regarded as a part of South America, the alter ego almost of Peru, -beyond the world, and the concerns of Americans. There was little thought, and less talk, of "the halls of the Montezumas;" and the ancient Mexican history was left to entertain school-boys, in the pages of Robertson Details ISBN 1973836505 ISBN-13 9781973836506 Title Calavar Author Robert Montgomery Bird Format Paperback Year 2017 Pages 512 Publisher Createspace Independent Publishing Platform GEItemID:129021197; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
