THE INSURGENCE of CHAN SANTA CRUZ

 

THE BOOK of SCIENCE

 

Over the first two decades of the 20th century, the only successful Native American insurgence on the North American continent was waged in Mexico’s Yucatan.  President Porfirio Diaz’s ambitious commissioning of General Ignacio Bravo to seize and hold Chan Santa Cruz, capital of the revolted Maya, succeeded… but the forces of occupation found themselves surrounded by patient, implacable rebels and their equally implacable monte. 

 

In this fourth book (of 10), Captain Jose Macias… his term of enlistment done… returns to Merida to assist his father and brother in managing the henequen estanción, which has fallen on hard times.  Refreshed by a visit to the wonderful scientific exhibits at the American Fair in St. Louis, he proposes marriage to Elena Villareal, but is betrayed by an unexpected competitor.  Meanwhile, in Santa Cruz, General Bravo and his dark right hand Huerta conspire to rid the territory of his unwelcome competitor to the south.
