Example text
How to explain this error if Frías, who not only camped several days in Tomochic but participated in the capture of Cerro de Cueva on Tuesday, October 25, 1892, was really the anonymous witness? This situation can perhaps be explained by considering the possibility that someone like Clausell, different from the eyewitness Frías, completed the account somewhere else, far from Chihuahua and the mountains. Clausell’s words were the key. And that is how it has remained ever since. The literary re-creation of the military campaign gave the geography of the terrain an important role in the text.
Joaquín Clausell resolved the matter of the anonymous authorship that had initiated the legal proceedings when he assumed responsibility for writing Tomochic at the first interrogation. Clausell’s answers exonerated the imprisoned Lieutenant and pointed to the case’s resolution. Nothing could have been easier for Clausell than explaining the origins of this up-to-the-minute novelized chronicle. One thing was Tomochic in the mountains, the hamlet that federal shrapnel almost decimated, and another was the Tomochic in the unexpected literary representation in the newspaper El Demócrata.
