The Reminiscencias contains 133 folios of text and 74 plates that include photographs, portraits, and illustrations of Maximilian, republican and imperial generals, political dignitaries, battle scenes, and Princess Salm-Salm (née Agnes Le Clerq Joy). In his memoir Ruiz recounts the military maneuvers throughout Mexico that led to the arrest and tragic end to Emperor Maximilian and to the events that led to the twentieth-century revolution. The collection also includes newspaper clippings of Princess Salm-Salm's American visit in 1899 that corroborate Ruiz's account.
