VARGAS MATIAS, Sergio A.. A path of silver and blood the military trail of the route through Xalapa of the royal road of Veracruz, 1811-1816. Estud. hist. novohisp [online]. 2019, n.60, pp.71-107. Epub 04-Dez-2020. ISSN 2448-6922. https://doi.org/10.22201/iih.24486922e.2019.60.65600.
This article reports on the establishment of the “military road” on the route through Xalapa del Camino Real de Veracruz during the Mexican War of Independence. Based on unpublished documentation found in various archives in Mexico and Spain, the text presents the different projects sketched between 1811 and 1816 by the viceroyal government to regain control of the itinerary, also focusing on the new techniques put into operation by the realistic brigadier Fernando Miyares y Mancebo in the construction of the bastions that formed the defense structure implemented by this character in the Xalapa-Veracruz route.
