Untitled

I would like to make clear that Gral. Carrera was not exactly an native guatemalan person. There is written evidence that he was actually, a mestizo person, belonging to the low class of the New Guatemala's City. He, obviously has, as the 95% of guatemalan people, some indian bloodline, in some degree, but it is incorrect make an statement as one of them. --Dardón López J.R. 01:44, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

date of "presidency for life"

The article currently said that Carrera took the style "president for life" in 1854. Of the article's two citations, one yields a "404" and the other (Catholic Encyclopedia) says he became president in 1854 and president for life seven years later. As El Presidente would say, "¿qué?" —Preceding unsigned comment added by TypoBoy (talk • contribs) 15:30, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Montaña Infinita

This article includes many citations to Fernando González Davison's novel "La montaña infinita : Carrera, caudillo de Guatemala", which does not appear to be a reliable source. According to Worldcat, this book is "fiction" and is a "historical novel". A fictional work should definitely not be cited in a Wikipedia article about an actual historical figure. Why has this source not been removed?113.29.228.232 (talk) 04:44, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1st and 5th President of Guatemala

In the infobox "1st President of Guatemala" is not enough. He was reelected after 4 other presidents. Aminabzz (talk) 13:39, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cause of death?

Under the heading "Death", it simply states "Rafael Carrera died in office April 14, 1865." Not exactly helpful. When someone dies at the age of 50, there is usually some cause that is worth mentioning. Can anyone help?
