    Antonio Batres Jáuregui
    Los indios de nuestros tiempos no pueden dar ningunas noticias acerca de la historia de ese pueblo desconocido; los que vivían hace trescientos años, al tiempo del descubrimiento de América, tampoco han dicho nada de que se pueda siquiera inferir una hipótesis; las tradiciones, que son monumentos perecederos y sin cesar renacientes del mundo primitivo, no dan luz ninguna; y sin...
