"This excellent biography by Edith Couturier provides a mature
analysis of manuscripts from Spanish and Mexican archives and, most
importantly, Regla's papers which cover both his public and private
life. . . . Using Regla's archive, Couturier can go beyond the
already well-known facets of the count's mining career to examine
his private life. Her chapters on his family life, home, and
charitable activities are truly rewarding and provide important
nuances to Regla's often hard-edged, rapacious, and callous
story."
." . . if you are fascinated by the history of colonial Mexico,
you'll discover a wealth of fresh insights between the covers of
this book."
