Cuauhtemoc. Autobiografía Obtenida Mediumnímicamente en el Círculo de "Luz y Verdad" por Conducto del Medium Benjamin Salazar

El Paso, 1927. Very good.. iv,74,[2],[v-]viii pp. Original photographic wrappers, with cloth tape spine. Light wear and soiling, internally clean. The purported autobiography of Cuauhtemoc, the last Aztec emperor, as received by a medium. Cuauhtemoc surrendered to Hernan Cortes and was later tortured in an attempt to extort further riches from the Aztec. Interestingly, the work seems to be channeling Cortes' perspective, as he is the credited party at the end, signing off, "Adios, y que al volver, sea para cumplir nuestros ofrecimientos llenos del amor con que os distingue vuestro hermano." The final few pages are dedicated to the methods and talents of the medium, Benjamin Salazar. Two copies in OCLC, at the University of Texas El Paso and the Instituto Tecnologico in Mexico.
