First published in Germany in 1858 by Harkort’s son-in-law, the journal of Eduard Harkort has now been translated and annotated by Louis E. Brister. In Brister’s introduction, the journal itself, and Harkort’s letters to friends, readers can sense the harrowing experiences faced by Harkort, who had training in the Prussian army, during his adventures with the ragtag rebel army of Gen. Antonio López de Santa Anna.
Thoroughly documented, this self-told tale of a foreigner’s adventures in the turbulent history of Mexico will capture the imagination of the reader and intrigue the scholar.
