| Info | He was born in El Moquete in Matamoros, Tamaulipas. He began to study arms in 1847, when he fought against the Americans.
He was a figure in the conservative forces, but in the French Intervention he offered his services to Benito Juárez. In the Ejercito de Oriente (West Army) he was under the orders of Porfírio Díaz.
He was governor of Michoacán in 1877 and War and Navy Secretary in 1879.
Manuel González counted with all the confidence of General Díaz when he was chosen President of the Republic for the period of 1880-1884. In his administration he impulsed the railroads track: the Mexican Central station finished its main line from Mexico to El Paso, it was put in service the one from Mexico to Morelia and the one from Mexico to Celaya. The submarine communication between Veracruz - Tampico - Brownsville allowed to the communication of Mexico the all the world.
