a part of “1848 ” by De Gré Cárdenas, Reese Anderson, Sanders & Diaz
What if an exiled peg-legged inventor of bubble gum lied his way through a naval blockade in Cuba by betraying a deal with a wealthy slave trader who spoke directly to God? Could he possibly become president of Mexico? Perhaps only to cede half his nation to the man he once betrayed? This is one of the 7 myths explored in ORGULLO, a collective of legends around pride examining the mythos between 11 time Mexican President Santa Anna & 11th US President James K. Polk at the height of the 1846-1848 American invasion of Mexico.
