Meerschaum Horse Pipe Owned by Porfirio Diaz, President and dictator of Mexico from 1877-1911. Díaz left a mixed legacy in his homeland. His influence is undeniable: with the possible exception of the dashing, brilliant madman Santa Anna no one man has been more important to the history of Mexico since independence.
In the positive side of the Díaz ledger must be his accomplishments in the areas of the economy, safety and stability. When he took over in 1876, Mexico was in ruins after years of disastrous civil and international wars. The treasury was empty, there were a mere 500 miles of train track in the whole nation and the country was essentially in the hands of a few powerful men who ruled sections of the nation like royalty. Díaz unified the country by paying off or crushing these regional warlords, encouraged foreign investment to restart the economy, built thousands of miles of train tracks and encouraged mining and other industries. His policies were wildly successful and the nation he left in 1911 was completely different from the one he inherited. Excellent condition. 7 inches long.
