ZAPATA EMILIANO: (1879-1919)
Description
ZAPATA EMILIANO: (1879-1919) Mexican revolutionary. Zapata was the main leader of the Mexican Revolution 1910-20 and the inspiration of the agrarian movement called Zapatismo. An excellent content and rare T.L.S., `Emiliano Zapata´, a bold and large signature with flourish, one page, large folio, Tlaltizapán - Morelos, 2nd May 1918, to General Gildardo Magaña, in Spanish. The doci¡ument bears to the upper left corner the printed heading of the "Ejercito Libertador - Cuartel General" ("Head Quarters of the Liberatory Army") and beneath an ink stamp of the same Army. Zapata first acknowledges the information received regarding an uprising, saying `Tomo nota por la información que con fecha 27 de abril me transmite usted de la sublevación de las tropas de Cirilo Arenas, y de los trabajos que aprovechando tal circunstancia ha llevado a cabo, a fin de atraerse a los pueblos comprendidos en la zona de los arenistas´ (Translation: "I take note of the information you sent me on April 27th regarding the uprising of Cirilo Arenas' troops, and the work that he has carried out, taking advantage of this circumstance, in order to attract the towns included in the area of the Arenas.") Further, Zapata strongly disagrees with the appointment made by his correspondent for what he considers an important post related to agriculture, one of his main activism claims, stating in part `Debo advertirle que de ninguna manera apruebo que se haya encargado el Ingeniero Soto y Gama de los Ramos de Instrucción Pública y Agricultura. No se escapa a usted que Agricultura es para nosotros el ramo mas importante, el trabajo inicial, nuestra bandera, y no puede, de ninguna manera, quedar al frente de dicho departamento una persona que ni tiene energias, ni amor al trabajo ni (esto es lo mas indispensable) entiende de Agricultura lo mas rudimentario... La persona que se encargue de este Ramo, debe saber tratar a las personas y sobre todo a los pueblos con sumo tacto...´ (Translation: "I must warn you that I in no way approve of Engineer Soto y Gama being put in charge of the Public Education and Agriculture branches. It is clear to you that Agriculture is our most important department, our foundation, our flagship, and under no circumstances can a person be left in charge of this department who lacks the energy, the love of work, and (this is the most essential) the most rudimentary understanding of Agriculture. The person in charge of this department must know how to treat people, and above all, treat the people, with the utmost tact...") Few very small tears to edges professionally repaired. G to VG Giraldo Magaña (1891-1939) Mexican General, Politician and revolutionary. In 1916 he was appointed chief of staff to Emiliano Zapata because he was the only one who was able to make unruly sub-commanders of the movement cooperate instead of quarrel, using his personal charm as well as his outstanding diplomatic skill for the task. When Zapata was killed in 1919, Magaña was elected his successor. When Alvaro Obregon revolt raised up in 1920, Magaña immediately declared his movement's support and provided Obregón with the army with which he conquered Mexico D.F. In return, the movement got the Ministry of Agriculture, mentioned as a main point by Zapata in this letter, and its desired agrarian reform made law. Antonio Diaz Soto y Gama (1880-1967) Mexican politician and revolutionary. After Zapata's murder in 1919, Soto y Gama continued to advise Zapata's successor, Giraldo Magaña and eventually joined the movement of Obregon (whom Antonio called "the executor of the ideas of Emiliano Zapata") Although President Obregón had asked him to serve in his cabinet as Minister of Agriculture, Díaz Soto y Gama declined. Complying (may be not knowing) with Zapata´s wish, according to the present letter.
