Juan Antonio de la Fuente papers, 1856-1863 (bulk 1862-1863).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32521697

Correspondence (1856-1863) relating to Mexican political and military affairs during Juan Antonio de la Fuente's political career. Correspondence consists primarily of letters and telegrams to Fuente; the majority are from such military and political figures as Ignacio Comonfort and Jesús González Ortega and discuss the French Intervention and their opposition to it. Military matters involving numbers of troops and arms, supplies, strategy, and battles are discussed extensively, as is the government of Benito Juárez. Letters from Comonfort and others, as well as two broadsides, concern the siege of Puebla in 1863. The few letters in the collection written by Fuente include several drafts of a letter to the editor of a periodical, written in response to an article on the Revolution of December 1857-January 1858.
