:''For the captain who inspired Hemingway's ''The Old Man and the Sea'', see Gregorio Fuentes.''
'Gregorio López y Fuentes' (November 17 1895December 10, 1966) was a Mexican novelist, poet, and journalist. He was one of the leading chroniclers of the Mexican Revolution.
López y Fuentes was born in a ranch called ''El Mamey'' in the Huasteca region of Veracruz. He started writing at the age of 15, when the Mexican Revolution started. Understandably, many of his books are related to the civil conflict.
Later on he became a teacher of literature at a school in Mexico City. In 1921 he began writing for the ''El Universal'' often under the 'Tulio F. Peseenz' pseudonym. His stories were seen as exciting and humorous and symbolic of Mexico. A realist, many of his works concerned the oppression of Native Americans. He was a contemporary of Mariano Azuela and Martín Luis Guzmán.
