Book Description
Eleven chapters cover various aspects of Padre Hidalgo's life and contributions to Mexican independence. Includes an introduction on 18th Century Mexico, and chapters covering the famous "Grito de Dolores," Hidalgo as student and educator, as parish priest, commander of insurgents, and excommunicado, as well as information on his demotion, capture, trial, and execution. A portrait of Padre Hidalgo and two maps of the insurgent movements are also included. This lively revised book is ideally suited for supplementing school texts (from kindergarten to 12th grade), as a source for further research, or for anyone interested in gaining greater insights into this vital figure of Mexican and Texas history.
