Excerpt from Life Stories for Young People: Maximilian in MexicoHe had but few friends upon whom he could rely, and they were unable to aid him in the hour of greatest danger. Louis Napoleon, who was chie¿y instrumental in sending him there, violated his agreements, withdrew the French troops from Mexico, and abandoned him as a prey to his vin dictive enemies, at whose hands he died like a gentle man and a hero, leaving the Empress to suffer the tortures of living death in a European asylum. History recalls few sadder tragedies than the one contained in the story of Maximilian's three years in Mexico.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
