On January 7, 1916, Antonio Pontón, a Puerto Rican student at Albany Law School who suffered from mental illness, became the first Hispanic executed in the electric chair at the Sing Sing Prison in New York. Author Yasmin Tirado-Chiodini tells a fictionalized account of Pontón's story in her historical novel ANTONIO'S WILL, A Story of Sacrifice, Love, Tragedy and Injustice, the first book in The Antonio's Series. This second book, ANTONIO'S GRACE, An Island's Plea for a Native Son, is a work of non-fiction in which the author takes a closer look at the trial and clemency process in the Pontón case. In it, she shares photographs and a selection of the thousands of documents she found, containing clemency writings endorsed by over 21,000 people who prayed in vain for grace for Pontón. Tirado-Chiodini's research and analysis of the case one hundred years later uncover the injustices surrounding Pontón's murder trial and examine the viability of the death penalty as a just measure. The names and voices of clemency have returned after a century to plead once again for an island's native son. Will you listen? BONUS: The book's Appendix includes a transcription by the author of over 21,000 names of individuals and organizations who signed clemency petitions in the case, an invaluable resource for academics, historians, and genealogists.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A MUST READ!!!! By Bartolome A. This book put everything mentioned in Antonio's Will into the proper perspective. I was taken back to the early 1900's when Puerto Rico became part of the US. The uncertainty of its citizens and the discrimination suffered by both the elite and educated people, as well as the poor and uneducated. Puerto Ricans were one, united for one cause. I was astonished to see that several of my ancestors signed the petition. Loved the book, the material, and the history behind this story. A must read for anyone who feels the death penalty should be abolished. Like Dead Man Walking this book makes a very strong argument against the death penalty!! "Better a guilty man go free than an innocent man be put to death or imprisoned" Bravo!!!!

Early 20th Century Nonfictional Account of Puerto Rico and New York By jrlb62 Once again Yasmin Tirado-Chiodini transports the reader to the early 20th Century with the story of Antonio Ponton, this time as Puerto Ricans who are the New Americans trying to save the life of one of their native sons in New York. It brings to light the efforts of a united Puerto Rico and questions the existing mores of the penal system in New York. A must read for those who are ambivalent about the penal system and the use of capital punishment.
