| Summary | "Diplomatic Days" by Edith O'Shaughnessy is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work consists of letters penned during an exciting and tumultuous time in Mexico, as the country was on the brink of a revolution. O'Shaughnessy shares her personal observations and experiences as the wife of an American diplomat, detailing her impressions of the vibrant culture, complex politics, and the overarching tension of impending conflict in Mexico. The beginning of "Diplomatic Days" sets the stage with the author’s first impressions while traveling to Mexico. Edith describes her journey through the tropics, highlighting her encounters with diverse fellow passengers, the exotic sights of Havana, and the unique ambiance she experiences aboard the ship to Vera Cruz. The excitement of arrival in a country steeped in revolutionary turmoil is palpable, as she mentions the Madero uprising and the atmosphere of change enveloping her surroundings. This opening establishes a vibrant narrative that reflects her curiosity and anticipation of the events to come in a land marked by both beauty and chaos.
