It is the usual practice of the HAHR to mark the death of a colleague with an obituary notice. Regrettably an unfortunate circumstance prevented the HAHR from properly noting the death of Charles Cumberland of Michigan State University. Professor Cumberland died suddenly on March 25, 1970, while traveling in Peru. At that time the HAHR was in the process of transferring its editorial offices from Indiana University to the University of Texas at Austin, with the result that no obituary essay was commissioned.
In 1972 the University of Texas Press posthumously published Professor Cumberland’s last book, Mexican Revolution: The Constitutionalist Years, which was completed by Professor David Bailey of Michigan State University. With the publication in this issue of Daniel Cosío Villegas’s review of this work, the HAHR would like to take the opportunity to indicate the contribution Charles Cumberland made to the field of Latin American history by publishing a bibliography of his work. We would like to thank the Department of History at Michigan State University for its assistance in compiling the bio-biliography which follows.
