Career
Manuel Pardo was born in 1774, in Santander (Cantabria, Spain). He joined the Spanish Army in his youth and fought in the military campaigns of France (in 1795), Portugal (1801), Aranjuez and Madrid (both in 1802 in the Community of Madrid). Pardo later traveled to New Spain where he joined the army.[1] He was promoted to colonel.[1][2]
On March 20, 1817, Pardo was appointed Interim Governor of the Province of Texas[1] and held the position until may of that year. Pardo's successor, Antonio María Martínez, claimed the interim Governor had impoverished Texas and depleted military defenses.[3]
In 1819, Pardo was appointed Governor of Coahuila, replacing José Franco. He governed Coahuila until November 25, 1820.
In 1822, Pardo became political chief of Monclova, Coahuila, and, in 1835, in the Texas Revolution, he was assistant of the troops of Martín Perfecto de Cos in Monclova.[1]
