Page "Francisco Morazán" Paragraph 4

Francisco Morazán was for the most part, a self-educated man.

According to historian Ramon Rosa ; he " had the misfortune of being born ... in that sad era of isolation and total darkness in which Honduras lacked schools ... therefore Morazan had to learn in private schools with an awful organization and sustained by parents ' contributions.

" In 1804, his parents took advantage of the opening of a Catholic school in the village of San Francisco.

At the age of twelve, José Francisco was sent there to learn to write and read, and to receive instruction in mathematics and drawing.

The teachings he received were through Friar Santiago Gabrielino, appointed religious instructor to the Guatemalan priest José Antonio Murga.
