Synopsis

< b>My Diary in Mexico, Vol. 2 of 2: 1867, Including the Last Days of Emperor Maximilian
A firsthand diary from the 1860s that follows a royal-in-waiting through the fall of Maximilian’s empire. This edition presents the Princess’s perspective on the siege of Mexico City, the movements of Porfirio Díaz, and life inside towns like Tacubaya, Tehuacan, and Vera Cruz as the empire teeters on collapse.

Travel with the author as she records nightly dreams, wartime journeys, and encounters with soldiers, officers, and civilians. The narrative threads together political upheaval, personal courage, and the human cost of a volatile era in Mexican history.

• On-the-ground observations of military campaigns and key figures of the time.


• vivid descriptions of towns, travel routes, and domestic life amid conflict.


• Personal reflections, dreams, and the daily realities of wartime leadership and loyalty.


• Context for the dramatic moments surrounding the siege and the last days of the Empire.

Ideal for readers of historical diaries and memoirs seeking a window into the Mexican saga of 1867 from a participant’s vantage point.
