El Comandante General de Chiapas a la guarnicion. [1846]. Broadside: 33.5 x 22 cm. Dated San Cristóbal, June 5, 1846. First Edition. Cardona’s address includes a paragraph upon the rising war with the U.S. and a reply from the state assembly with a promise to fight. Then, Cardona gives a slanted view of the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, implying at one point that the Mexican troops had to lure Taylor into a battle because he was a coward. Cuban born Cordona (1799-1867) was well aware of the dangers of Texas, having been with Santa-Anna’s army when it invaded during the Texas Revolution. Chiapas itself was never threatened by American forces. He participated in the 1836 invasion of Texas and was governor of Chiapas for brief periods in 1846 and 1848.
