Summary/Abstract: Within the general context of Hungarian emigration to the Americas after the defeat of the War of Independence in 1849, this study traces the activities of the Chief of Staff of General Ramón Corona and later hacendado and sugar factory owner, Stephen Zakany. With the help of 19th-century newspaper articles and different registers (birth certificate, army register) his original identity (József Csala) is established. The paper follows the milestones of his life and emigration, focusing on his economic and social integration into Mexican society.
