One day during this breathing spell, the Aztec Emperor left his palanquin when he had bade its carriers put it down, and entered a cavern that was in the side of the hill. While his people awaited his return they heard his voice from the rocks high above them, and they immediately hailed him as a very god, since none but Moctezuma knew how to pass thus, through the earth from the valley to the hill top. As a matter of fact a cave did exist in the side of the hill and connected with the summit by a narrow, perpendicular passage. Both the cave and the passage are now utilized, the former having been paved, and the latter made into an elevator shaft through which the President now ascends to his home on the summit. The cave is situated half way up the hill on the left of the carriage road, but the elevator is not for public use. If possible, the visitor should make an effort to see Chapultepec on Sunday afternoon between 4 and 6:30 o'clock. A brilliant parade of fine horses, elegantly gowned women and picturesque Mexican riding habits, an excellent military band, and the gleaming lights of the restaurant across the way, all combine to make the sight one of the prettiest and most unique in the world. THIRD DAY The National Palace; On the east side of the Zocalo, occupying an entire block, is the National Palace, the Capitol of the Kepublic of Mexico. There is nothing in the architecture of the building to command attention, but it has its full share of historic interest. On this same site formerly stood what was known as "the new palace" of Moctezuma, and later when this was destroyed, Cortez built in its place a house flanked with towers. This house was occupied by the Viceroys until 1692 when it was destroyed by the great...

Download or read book Electrifying Mexico written by Diana Montaño and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2022 Alfred B. Thomas Book Award, Southeastern Council of Latin American Studies (SECOLAS) 2022 Bolton-Johnson Prize, Conference on Latin American History (CLAH) 2022 Best Book in Non-North American Urban History, Urban History Association (Co-winner) 2023 Honorable Mention, Best Book in the Humanities, Latin American Studies Association Mexico Section Many visitors to Mexico City’s 1886 Electricity Exposition were amazed by their experience of the event, which included magnetic devices, electronic printers, and a banquet of light. It was both technological spectacle and political messaging, for speeches at the event lauded President Porfirio Díaz and bound such progress to his vision of a modern order. Diana J. Montaño explores the role of electricity in Mexico’s economic and political evolution, as the coal-deficient country pioneered large-scale hydroelectricity and sought to face the world as a scientifically enlightened “empire of peace.” She is especially concerned with electrification at the social level. Ordinary electricity users were also agents and sites of change. Montaño documents inventions and adaptations that served local needs while fostering new ideas of time and space, body and self, the national and the foreign. Electricity also colored issues of gender, race, and class in ways specific to Mexico. Complicating historical discourses in which Latin Americans merely use technologies developed elsewhere, Electrifying Mexico emphasizes a particular national culture of scientific progress and its contributions to a uniquely Mexican modernist political subjectivity.
