What is Tribute to Mexico about?
This poem pays tribute to the Heroes of Chapultepec, six Mexican cadets who defended the Chapultepec Castle from American invaders in 1847. It describes how the cadets, some of them barely children, fought valiantly despite being at a clear numerical disadvantage. It particularly highlights the heroism of Juan Escutia, who threw himself off the cliff with the Mexican flag rather than allow it to be captured by the enemy. It concludes by honoring the ultimate sacrifice.
