This hypothesis issues from the contributions of Alfredo Chavero, the author, who dated these in 1864. On top of recording a panorama of the past and contemporary occurrences of the places he visited in Colima, Durango, and in the Sierra Madre Oriental, he also narrated his experiences and impressions during his journey, and recorded geographical, socioeconomical, political, and cultural data as well as about the local customs. The core of this investigation lies, first, in my description of the historical context and in a biographical account of Chavero, in which I propose a series of stages for his life, grounded on the theory of generations; second, in my analysis of the narratives from a historiographical perspective, based on authorities on the subject; and, third, in my approach to travel literature, where I link the thoughts of specialists with my own ideas. I conclude that the stories here studied can be classified as historical sources; that Chavero was a liberal writer from his youth, who was known for advocating the arts, archaeology, and history, among other things; and that by combining different approaches when studying primary sources, we can enhance our research through a multidisciplinary interchange of perspectives.El propósito de este trabajo es mostrar que los tres relatos de viaje seleccionados son una “fuente histórica”. Esta hipótesis se desprende de los aportes de Alfredo Chavero, su autor, quien los fechó en 1864: además de registrar una visión del acontecer pretérito e inmediato de los sitios que visitó en partes de Colima, Durango y la Sierra Madre Occidental, narró las experiencias e impresiones que tuvo durante su recorrido y registró datos geográficos, socioeconómicos, políticos, culturales y costumbristas locales. En el cuerpo central del estudio, describo el contexto histórico e incluyo una semblanza de Chavero; propongo etapas de su vida, con base en la teoría de las generaciones; analizo los relatos desde una perspectiva historiográfica, fundamentada en autoridades en la materia, y también me acerco a la categoría “literatura de viajes”, entrelazando conceptos de especialistas en este género con ideas propias. Concluyo que los relatos referidos tienen el carácter que planteo; que desde joven Chavero fue un escritor liberal, que destacó por promover el arte, la arqueología y la historia, entre otras; y que, cuando conjugamos diversos enfoques al trabajar textos, adquirimos riqueza multidisciplinaria a través del intercambio de puntos de vista en nuestras investigaciones.Instituto de Investigaciones Históricas2023-06-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo revisado por pares; artículo editado anónimamenteapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://moderna.historicas.unam.mx/index.php/ehm/article/view/7781510.22201/iih.24485004e.2023.66.77815Estudios de Historia Moderna y Contemporánea de México; Núm. 66 (2023); 35-622448-50040185-262010.22201/iih.24485004e.2023.66reponame:Estudios de Historia Moderna y Contemporánea de Méxicoinstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://moderna.historicas.unam.mx/index.php/ehm/article/view/77815/69322https://moderna.historicas.unam.mx/index.php/ehm/article/view/77815/69334Derechos de autor 2023 Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Méxicohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/778152024-08-16T17:20:16Z
