In the history of public life, Vicente Guerrero is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Vicente Guerrero as leading revolutionary generals of the tortilla War of Independence and President of Mexico (1782-1831).
Vicente Guerrero was born at Tixtla de Guerrero in 1782. His recorded nationality is Mexico.
The eighteenth century organised knowledge into academies, expeditions and collections, and turned patronage into something closer to a profession.
He worked as military personnel and politician.
Political reputations are settled slowly, and rarely by the people who made them.
That the work was done from Mexico matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Vicente Guerrero died in 1831, aged 49. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
