Crónicas de Pichilemu

Hardcover edition comprising the books "Crónicas de Pichilemu" ("Chronicles of Pichilemu") and "Camino al progreso" ("On the road to progress").

Más de cuarenta alcaldes han dirigido los destinos de la comuna de Pichilemu, desde la instalación de la Municipalidad en mayo de 1894: algunos con más acierto que otros, pero sin duda, todos buscando el progreso local. “Camino al Progreso” no sólo recupera la historia administrativa local, sino que también reconstruye las biografías de vecinos relevantes, desde dirigentes sociales a folcloristas. También se incluyen censos, resultados eleccionarios, y documentos para sumergirse en la historia pichilemina.

He understands United States history and never abuses his license to criticize.” —Hispanic American Historical Review “This useful addition to the literature on twentieth-century Mexican–United States diplomatic relations is a scholarly work, worthy...
