Periodista y novelista mexicano, nacido en Querétaro (1870) y fallecido en Tizapán (1925). Entró al servicio de las armas en el IX Batallón con el grado de subteniente de infantería (1889), siendo ascendido a teniente (1892) y participando en la misión de sofocar la rebelión de los indios tomochitecos. Los acontecimientos vividos le impresionaron homdamente, por lo que escribió una serie de artículos que se publicaron en el periódico El Demócrata entre 1893 y 1895. Estos artículos se recogieron en su novela Tomochic y le originaron un proceso que pudo haberle costado la vida. Ya de baja en el ejército, se dedicó por completo al periodismo. Escribió en El mundo ilustrado (1896), El combate (1896-98), El Correo de la Tarde (1906). Dirigió diversas publicaciones (El Correo de la Tarde, La Voz de Sonora). En tiempos de Obregón, desempeñó durante tres años (1921-1923) el cargo de cónsul de México en Cádiz. Volvió a México en 1923, casi ciego pero a punto de terminar su novela El Diluvio mexicano . No pudo finazlizarla, pues la muerte le sorprendió en Tizapán. Es autor de novelas de tono social: El último duelo (1896), El amor de la sirenas (1908), ¿Águila o sol? (1923); de leyendas (Leyendas históricas mexicanas, 1899) y de obras históricas (La intervención americana).

Faced with an Aztec revolt against their rule, forces under the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes fight their way out of Tenochtitlan at the heavy cost. Known to the Spanish as La Noche Triste, or “the Night of Sadness,” many soldiers drowned in Lake Texcoco when the vessel carrying them and Aztec treasures hoarded by CortÝs sank. Montezuma II, the Aztec emperor who had become merely a subject of Cortes in the previous year, was also killed during the struggle; by the Aztecs or the Spanish, it is not known.
