Porfirio DÃaz escribió estas Memorias, contando su vida entera desde su nacimiento hasta julio de 1867. En ellas reserva el primer capÃtulo a sus antepasados. Se incluyen, además, trece años de sus aventuras militares, hasta el momento en que fue candidato a las elecciones presidenciales de su paÃs, por primera vez.
Porfirio DÃaz fue un lÃder mexicano que desarrolló una intensa actividad militar y polÃtica durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Participó en dos conflictos bélicos:
la guerra de Reforma (1858-1861);
y la guerra contra el Segundo Imperio Mexicano (1863-1867).
Se rebeló contra el gobierno federal en dos ocasiones: la primera contra el presidente Benito Juárez, en 1871; y, posteriormente, contra Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada, en 1876.
Porfirio DÃaz fue cuatro veces gobernador de Oaxaca y nueve veces presidente de México, entre 1876 y 1911. Su larga gestión de gobierno ha sido motivo de controversia: unos historiadores resaltan el crecimiento económico sin precedentes que registró la economÃa mexicana bajo su mandato; otros ponen el foco en su autoritarismo, la manipulación electoral y la expropiación de los ejidos, que condenó a los indÃgenas a vivir en la pobreza y la indigencia. La figura de Porfirio es clave en la historia mexicana: polémica, aclamada y cuestionada por igual.
Naci en la ciudad de Oaxaca el 15 de septiembre de 1830. Mi padre fue Jose Faustino Diaz y mi madre, su esposa, Petrona Mori. Aunque de origen espanol, mi padre era de los que llamamos raza criolla, es decir, con alguna mezcla de sangre india. Mis abuelos paternos fueron Manuel Diaz y Marcela Bohorquez, ambos de Oaxaca;y mis abuelos maternos Mariano Mori y Tecla Cortes, de Yodocono. Mi bisabuelo materno vino de Asturias y se caso con una india del pueblo de Yodocono, parroquia de Tilantongo, Distrito de Nochistlan, del Estado de Oaxaca;de manera que mi madre tenia media sangre india de raza mixteca. Despues de algun tiempo mis abuelos maternos se establecieron en la ciudad de Oaxaca en donde se caso mi madre. Mi padre era herrador y veterinario de profesion y antes de casarse, siendo muy joven, habia servido en un Regimiento como mariscal.
