Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Mexican Journey Most of what appears in the following pages was first written for the Chautauquan magazine, though all has been carefully revised for its present use. If the fruits of laborious original research appear anywhere, it is the research of some one besides the author. His debt in this way is informally suggested by the text, except when it relates to things now become common property, and calling for no special acknowledgment. The opinions and sentiments expressed regarding our Mexican neighbors, on the contrary, may be taken as at first hand. Here also the writer would be presumptuous to set up any claims as a discoverer or to deny that he owes much to teachers and prompters. These opinions and sentiments, however, are such as without falsity he may call his own, and grow out of alert, sympathetic contact and correspondence with Mexicans for several years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Trip to the City of Mexico It has often been suggested to me to give in print some account of the Mexican Central Excursion. Feeling that this was a grand opportunity for a skilful pen upon an interesting subject, and that the requisite talent for the purpose was not lacking in our party, I was reluctant to undertake the work, until sufficient time had elapsed to satisfy me, at least, that unless I took it upon myself it might remain unwritten, and forever lost, except to the memory of a few of those who, like myself, participated in it. This story, which must of necessity be in the form of a diary of events, is made up largely from private memoranda which were made day after day, with the sole object of refreshing the memory, when relating an account of the journey upon my return home.

Download or read book On the Plain of Snakes written by Paul Theroux and published by Eamon Dolan Books. This book was released on 2019 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legendary travel writer Paul Theroux drives the entire length of the US-Mexico border, then goes deep into the hinterland, on the back roads of Chiapas and Oaxaca, to uncover the rich, layered world behind today's brutal headlines. Paul Theroux has spent his life crisscrossing the globe in search of the histories and peoples that give life to the places they call home. Now, as immigration debates boil around the world, Theroux has set out to explore a country key to understanding our current discourse: Mexico. Just south of the Arizona border, in the desert region of Sonora, he finds a place brimming with vitality, yet visibly marked by both the US Border Patrol looming to the north and mounting discord from within. With the same humanizing sensibility he employed in Deep South, Theroux stops to talk with residents, visits Zapotec mill workers in the highlands, and attends a Zapatista party meeting, communing with people of all stripes who remain south of the border even as their families brave the journey north. From the writer praised for his "curiosity and affection for humanity in all its forms" (New York Times Book Review), On the Plain of Snakes is an exploration of a region in conflict.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roy and Ray: In Mexico This volume does not pretend to be a guide book to Mexico, or a history of the country. It is simply the record of an actual journey to seven or eight Mexican cities and towns, as experienced by two intelligent, wide-awake children, with some one at hand to answer their questions and call their attention to things they might otherwise not have noticed. If the assurance of one boy to whom the manuscript was read, that it would be interesting to anybody who wanted to know about Mexico, proves to be well-founded, the object of.

Download or read book In Indian Mexico written by Frederick Starr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Indian Mexico: A Narrative of Travel and Labor The reading public may well ask, Why another travel book on Mexico? Few countries have been so frequently written up by the traveler. Many books, good, bad, and indifferent, but chiefly bad, have been perpetrated. Most of these books, however, cover the same ground, and ground which has been traversed by many people. Indian Mexico is practically unknown. The only travel-book regarding it, in English, is Lumholtz's Unknown Mexico. The indians among whom Lumholtz worked lived in northwestern Mexico; those among whom I have studied are in southern Mexico. The only district where his work and mine overlap is the Tarascan area. In fact, then, I write upon an almost unknown and untouched subject. Lumholtz studied life and customs; my study has been the physical type of south Mexican indians. Within the area covered by Lumholtz, the physical characteristics of the tribes have been studied by Hrdlicka. His studies and my own are practically the only investigations within the field. There are two Mexicos. Northern Mexico to the lati tude of the capital city is a mestizo country; the indians of pure blood within that area occupy limited and circum scribed regions. Southern Mexico is indian country; there are large regions, where the mestz'zos, not the indians, are the exception. From the time of my first contact with Mexican indians, I was impressed with the notable dif ferences between tribes, and desired to make a serious study of their types. In 1895, the accidental meeting with a priest from Guatemala led to my making a journey to Gen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Mexican Trails written by Stanton Davis Kirkham and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mexican Trails: A Record of Travel in Mexico, 1904-07, and a Glimpse at the Life of the Mexican Indian This book is a glimpse of Old Mexico as I have caught it, not from the car-window, but from many a trail during three years spent in wandering over the country, from the Border to the Isthmus and from the Atlantic to the Pacific; a look at the little cities of New Spain, which was before Mexico, and a study of the village life of an Indian people who were before New Spain. Faintly enough, but faithfully I hope, it portrays the real Mexico; not the Mexico of the tourist, nor yet that of the man of affairs intent upon exploiting the country for his own ends, and incidentally for the country's welfare, but at the expense, necessarily, of all that is unpractical and picturesque.

Download or read book A Visit to Don Otavio written by Sybille Bedford and published by . This book was released on 2002-07-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico, through the eyes of Sybille Bedford is a country of passion and paradox: arid desert and shrieking jungle, harsh sun and deep shadow, violence and sentimentality. In her frank descriptions of the horrors of travel - through bug-infested jungle, trapped in a broiling stationary train, or in a bus with a dead fish slapping against her face - she gains our trust. But it is the charmed world of Don Otavio which steals our imagination. He is, she says, "one of the kindest men I ever met". She stays in his crumbling ancestral mansion, living a life of provincial ease and observing with glee the intense life of a Mexican neighbourhood.
