El General en Gefe del Ejercito Constitucional de Honduras, a Sus Habitantes. Compatriotas... [caption title]
[Gracias, Honduras: 1855]. Broadsheet, approximately 12.5 x 8.5 inches. A few small chips and short, closed tears at edges. Light, even tanning. Very good. Item #5736
Scarce appeal by the conservative Honduran military leader Juan Lopez directed to the country's citizens to throw off the rule of liberal president José Trinidad Cabañas. A few months after this broadsheet was issued in July 1855, Guatemalan forces and its president Rafael Carrera crossed the border to support Lopez, and together they forced Cabañas into exile. The present work calls the initial election of Cabañas unconstitutional, and harps on the various misfortunes and violence that have befallen Honduras since his ascension to the presidency. The address concludes with an appeal to the citizenry to join Lopez in his efforts to bring peace and stability to the country. Not in OCLC.
