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.
