Together with a handful of leading Yucatecan intellectuals, he published a satirical newspaper (La burla), and on his own, the pro-Liberal El águila azteca (1862) in Tabasco. Sánchez Mármol also authored four other novels-El brindis de la Navidad, Pocahontas, Juanita Souza, and Previvida-together with a monograph on Mexican education, Las letras patrias.
