Description

Victoriano Huerta

Military officer and former president of Mexico (1850–1916). Printed transcript of a speech given by Huerta, five pages, 8.5 x 11. Lengthy speech about Mexico concludes “Never mind, Mexico will be saved by a Mexican. By a strong Mexican. Not by a bandit. Not by men that kill for the sake of money and bastardly passion, but by a Mexican who will act as a surgeon, who will cure the sores, who will amputate the dead parts of the national body, and then Mexico in a short time will revive and will be paradise on earth as it deserves to be. Where is this man? Who is this man? When will the man appear? I do not know.” Signed at the conclusion in fountain pen, “V. Huerta.” In very good condition, with central horizontal and vertical folds, scattered edge tears, areas of toning, and mounting remnants to reverse of last page. RRAuction COA.
