Poet, liberal, mea kākau moʻolelo, mea hoʻokani pila. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo ia ma Mekiko City i 1818, ua make ʻo ia ma Tacubaya, Mexico City i 1897.
Ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i kona wā kamaliʻi i ka Molino del Rey, ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka Castillo de Chapultepec ʻoiai ʻo kona makuakāne, ʻo José María Prieto Gamboa, ka mea nāna i mālama ka mea wili a me ka palaoa. I kona wā i make ai i ka makahiki 1831, ua nalowale kona makuahine, ʻo Mrs. Josefa Pradillo y Estañol, me ka haʻalele ʻole i ke keiki ʻo Guillermo.
I kēia kūlana kaumaha a ʻōpio loa hoʻi, ua hana ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he kākau ʻōlelo i loko o kahi hale kūʻai lole a ma hope ma ke ʻano he hanohano ma nā loina, ma lalo o ka pale a Andrés Quintana Roo.
ʻO kēia kahi i hiki ai iā ia ke komo i ka Colegio de San Juan de Letrán. Ma kaʻaoʻao o Manu Tonat Ferer a me José María a me Juan Lacunza, ua komo ʻo ia i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ka Afteran Academy, i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka makahiki 1836 a ua alakaʻi ʻia hoʻi e Quintana Roo, ʻo ia ka "pono - e like me kāna mau huaʻōlelo ponoʻī - Palapala ".
ʻO ia ke kākau ʻōlelo pilikino a Valentín Gómez Farías lāua ʻo Bustamante, ma ke kūleʻa ʻana.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia i kāna ʻoihana ma ke ʻano he mea kākau nūpepa ma ka nūpepa ʻo El Siglo Diez y Nueve, ma ke ʻano he loio i ka hana keaka, e hoʻopuka ana i ke kolamu "San Monday", ma lalo o ka pseudonym Fidel. Ua laulima pū ʻo ia ma El Monitor Republicano.
I 1845 hoʻokumu ʻo ia me Ignacio Ramírez ka nūpepa satirical ʻo Don Simplicio.
Hoʻopili ʻia mai ka wā ʻōpio a i ka pāʻina liberal, pale aku ʻo ia i nā manaʻo me ka journalism a me nā mele. He Kuhina Waiwai ʻo ia - "ua mālama ʻo ia i ka berena a ka poʻe hune" - i ka ʻaha kuhina o General Mariano Arista mai Kepakemapa 14, 1852 a Ianuali 5, 1853.
Ua pili ʻo ia i ka Plan Ayutla, i hoʻolaha ʻia ma Malaki 1, 1854 no ia kumu ua ʻae ʻo ia i ka lawe pio ʻana ma Cadereyta.
Ua hoʻi ʻo ia e hana i ke kōpena like i ke aupuni o Juan Alvarez mai ʻOkakopa 6 a hiki i Kēkēmapa 6, 1855. He hope ʻo ia ma 15 mau manawa i loko o 20 mau manawa i ka ʻAhaʻōlelo o ka Uniona a ua komo, e kū ana i Puebla, i ka Constituent Congress o 1856 57.
No ke kolu o ka manawa ma ke poʻo o ke Kuhina Waiwai - mai Ianuali 21, 1858 a Ianuali 2, 1859, hele pū ʻo ia me Benito Juárez i kāna lele ʻana, ma hope o ka ʻōlelo a General Félix Zuluoga. Ma Guadalajara i hoʻopakele ai ʻo ia i ke ola o ka pelekikena ma o ke komo ʻana ma waena ona a me nā pū o ke kiaʻi kipi kahi i manaʻo ai ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i kāna huaʻōlelo kaulana "ʻaʻole koa ka pepehi kanaka."
Ua haku ʻo ia i ke mele satirical o nā pūʻali koa liberal "Los cangrejos" nona ka pāʻina a ko González Ortega pūʻali koa i komo ai i Mexico City i ka makahiki 1861.
Ma hope mai ua Kuhina o nā ʻĀina ʻē iā Pelekikena José María Iglesias.
I ka makahiki 1890 ua kāhea ka nūpepa ʻo La República i ka hoʻokūkū e ʻike ai ʻo wai ka mea haku mele kaulana kaulana, ua makemake nui ke kiaʻi iā Prieto, e ʻohi ana i nā balota ma mua o kāna mau hoa paio kokoke ʻelua, ʻo Salvador Díaz Mirón lāua ʻo Juan de Dios Peza.
Ua hoʻolaha ʻia e Altamirano "ke poetiko par poʻokela ʻo Mekiko, ka mea haku mele o ka ʻāina", mai kāna "observatory of customs", ua ʻike ʻo Prieto i nā kahakaha kūlanakauhale a me nā ʻano paina kaulana a wehewehe iā lākou me ka haku mele a kahakaha kupanaha hoʻi.
Ma lalo o kāna leʻaleʻa a me ke ʻano heroic, ua komo mau ʻo ia i loko o ka politika.
ʻO kekahi o kāna mau mele kaulana loa ʻo "La musea callejera", kahi waiwai moʻokalaleo maoli, i ʻōlelo ʻia e hoʻopakele i ka moʻomeheu folkloric o Mexico. Hoʻokomo ʻo ia i ka poema Mekiko i ke kenekulia ʻumikūmāiwa i loko o ka moʻomeheu moʻokalaleo, me nā paʻi aloha a me kahi ʻano iki mai ka poema Sepania.

Ma ke ʻano he essayist, ʻoiai he polofesa ʻo ia i ka hoʻokele politika a me ka mōʻaukala aupuni ma ke Kulanui Koa, ua kākau ʻo ia:
- Nā hōʻike e pili ana i ke kumu, nā hoʻololi a me ke kūlana e mālama mau ʻia nei nā loaʻa kālā āpau o ka Mexico Federation (1850)
