Letter from the Editor

Dear readers

Diligent research of historical sources can yield amazing discoveries about the historical figures who were born in Mazatlan or simply passed through the area but left a deep impression.

Joaquin Lopez, historian and official chronicler of Teacapan, treats us once again to such a discovery. In our opening article, he shares an interesting story about the family tree of Ernesto "Che" Guevara, the most important Latin American revolutionary of the latter half of the 20th century, and the trip his relatives made across the Sinaloan deserts on their way to the Gold Rush in San Francisco.

Likewise, the official chronicler of Mazatlan, Enrique Vega Ayala traces the history of public transportation through a nostalgic look back at the vehicles that circulated through the port from the mid-1800s to the present.

We hope you enjoy.

Sincerely,

Elaine Kemp
