Summary
The bibliography on Mexico’s struggle for independence is vast, perhaps the largest in Mexican studies. Published documentary collections are rich; only the most notable can be mentioned here. The fundamental set is Juan E. Hernández y Dávalos, Colección de documentos para la historia de la guerra de independencia de México, 6 vols. (Mexico, D.F., 1877–82). Almost as useful are Genaro García, Documentos históricos mexicanos, 7 vols. (Mexico, D.F., 1910–12) and El clero de México y la guerra de independencia, vol. 9 in Documentos inéditos 0 muy raros para la historia de México (Mexico, D.F., 1906); Joaquín García Icazbalceta, Coleccíon de documentos para la historia de México (Mexico, D.F., 1925) and Nueva colección de documentos, 5 vols. (Mexico, D.F., 1886). And for Morelos there is Luis Castillo Ledón, Morelos, documentos inéditos y poco conocidos (Mexico, D.F., 1927). Equally important are the histories written by participants and observers. The classic work is Lucas Alamán, Historia de Méjico desde los primeros movimientos que prepararon su independencia en el año de 1808 hasta la epocapresente, 5 vols. (Mexico, D.F., 1849–52). Other very useful works are Carlos María Bustamante, Cuadro histórico de la revolución mexicana, 2 vols., 2nd ed. (Mexico, D.F., 1843–4); Anastasio Zerecero, Memorias para la historia de las revoluciones en México (Mexico, D.F., 1869); Servando Teresa de Mier, Historia de la revolucion de Nueva Espana (Mexico, D.F., 1822); José María Luis Mora, Mexico y sus revoluciones, 3 vols. (Paris, 1836); and Henry George Ward, Mexico in 1827, 2 vols. (London, 1828). Francisco de Paula de Arrangoiz y Berzábal, Méjico desde 1808 hasta 1867, 4 vols. (Madrid, 1871), is derivative and generally follows Alamán.
