Biography

The Clifton Hite collection consists of legal documents pertaining to the 19th century ownership and legal disposition of the Santa Gertrudis Rancho, San Jose del Cabo, Baja Calif. The Rancho was evidently owned or claimed at various times by Gertrudis Carrillo (1859), Jose Ceseña (1877) and members of the Bello family (1879). Items in the collections are written in Spanish. [H675]
George C. Hunt was a representative of American mining and petroleum interests in Mexico at the time of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). This collection consists of Hunt's observations (c1925) on military, business and political matters in Mexico during that period. [Ms2.H941]
General Jose Antonio Lopez de Santa Ana was President of Mexico and Commander of the Army during Mexico's war with the United States (1846-1848). His letter in this collection thanks Don Juan Valdivia for providing lumber in defense of a possible Spanish invasion (1829). [Ms2.S331]
Also in the Small Mexican Collections is an assortment of 19th century legal and political documents, many of which pertain to Mexican relations with the United States and with Spain. [Ms2.M611]
