José María Morelos: The Beacon of the Free

Like all the books in the Así Ocurrió collection, this story is narrated by a fictional character who recounts the most important aspects of the life of a historical figure. In this case, a friend of José María Morelos recounts the life of the liberator from his hard childhood (his birth certificate hid his indigenous and African ancestry, he had to take care of his family at an early age, etc.) to the Siege of Cuautla, when Félix María Calleja and his troops tried, unsuccessfully, to capture Morelos and break the Independence movement.
