On the Death of Maximilian: A rare Hungarian Newspaper Article from 1876
An eyewitness memoir by Dr Szender Ede, who served with the French in Mexico from 1865, and later had quite a bit to do with the aftermath, was published in a Hungarian newspaper in 1876, and has been translated into Spanish. Warning: it's not for the timid of stomach.

Yes, I hope to translate it into English soon.
Pictured left is my photo of Maximilian's temporary coffin, in Querétaro. You can see more of my photos from Querétaro here.
Next post: next Tuesday.
