ABOUT THIS BLOG AND C.M. MAYO

Welcome and bienvenido!

I am C.M. Mayo, literary journalist and novelist, author of several books on Mexico, most relevantly, The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire (Unbridled Books, 2009), a novel based on the true story which was also published in Spanish as El último príncipe del Imperio Mexicano (Random House-Mondadori, 2010). I am also the author of a long essay now available as a Kindle, From Mexico to Miramar or, Across the Lake of Oblivion (Dancing Chiva, 2011).

As a result, I have at hand many books, articles, links, photos and more. Also, many people, including both amateur and professional historians, write to me about their books, articles, and other news related to this fascinating period. I would like to share this (always with permission, of course), and a blog seems like a good way to do it.

Specifically, this blog covers resources, both old and new, on Mexico's Second Empire, the tumultuous period also known as the French Intervention.
