Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Era in Old Mexico This is not a history, but a clew to the meaning of history. The history of Mexico in English remains to be written. It ought to be written. But to write it is not so simple a matter as to turn off a volume like this. Wishing to give some account of Mexico as it is, after a residence there of a good many years, the author has found himself under the necessity of explaining the things that are by the things that have been. He trusts that this book may be a guide to intelligent observation and to further studies upon the part of others. That it may contribute to a better understanding between near neighbors is the hope that more than any other has set him the task of its preparation. He is aware that it is repetitious, and fears that it may be tedious; yet he believes that interest in Mexico and its affairs is in our day so deep and so sincere among those who read the English language as to make welcome even a faulty and hasty volume concerning that country and its people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mexico, Old and New: A Wonder-Land Mexico is an ancient land. Its history can be definitely traced to A. D. 640, and traditionally much farther back, perhaps, far beyond the Christian era. My aim has been to see present affairs as they exist, and be led to understand past things as they actually were. The physical, mental, moral, and religious have claimed my attention, and in judging of them, I have endeavored to be fair and just. Mexico, ancient and modem, is a marvelous country. The illustrations were taken by an accompanying friend, Benj. F. Freeman of Somerville, Mass., who 15 a professional artist and photographer. I know the pictures are true to life. My object has not been to make this an exhaustive work, but simply sketchy, cheery, instructive, and helpful to mind and heart. As it goes forth on its mission, should it prove to be such, abundant will be the reward of the Author. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

James Box's Adventures and Explorations in New and Old Mexico: Being the Record of Ten Years of Travel and Research I have been prompted to this account of the mine ral resources of Mexico, by having been, for ten years, the daily witness of facts proving the great wealth hidden in the recesses of the Sierra Madre, and lying at the bottom of the rivers emptying into the gulf of California. Jealous to secure to my countrymen a more intimate knowledge of a country toward which English capitalists have already begun to direct their thoughts and endeavors, I resolved to give them the description, imperfect as it is, which my pretty thor ough knowledge of Northern Mexico enables me to communicate.

Download or read book Mexico Its Revolutions written by George Earl Church and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mexico, Its Revolutions: Are They Evidences of Retrogression or of Progress? A Historical and Political Review Northward she enjoys the immediate contact of the wonderful national progress of the great republic, while to the southward, within easy reach, lie the trade and wealth of South America. There is not a commercial country in the world which she cannot reach by easy water communication and in almost a straight line. With such a magnificent geographical position, there should spring up great cities and commercial centers upon her territory; for, as commerce advances, it will place her, with reference to the modern trade of the world, in nearly the same position that Syria, Mesopotamia, and the whole of Western Persia occupied to its ancient trade. It was the East Indian and European trade currents, flowing over these countries, which gave birth to the cities of Selucia, Palmyra, Sidon, and her colony, Tyre. The same causes, later, forced into notice Byzantium and Alexandria, made Rome and Carthage centres of distribution for East Indian products, and gave Venice wealth and power to turn back the Ottoman sword from Europe. No better illustration of the importance of occupying a central position, with reference to the great trade currents, can be selected than by the comparison of Europe in the latter part of the fifteenth with the beginning of the sixteenth century. In 1498 her whole Indian commerce flowed westward from its Asiatic sources through the old laborious channels to the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, where the merchants of Genoa and Venice became its principal European distributors. Every Mediterranean port resounded to the hum of commercial life. Suddenly the tide was turned; Vasco de Gama, retracing the track made by Pharaoh Necho's Ph nician ships twenty centuries before, rolled away the barriers to great commercial development, and ordered Europe henceforth to look to the Atlantic coast for centers of East Indian supply. The whole Atlantic seaboard immediately sprang to meet the demands made upon it, and to reap the civilizing influences caused by an intense forcing of mental activity to supply the wants of rival commercial interests, and gather the new harvest laid at the feet of Western Europe. It was like a desert simoon to the Mediterranean ports; the great Nile of Asiatic commerce, which had annually borne in its tide the segregated wealth of the Indies, had changed its course, and now poured its wealth around the Cape of Good Hope and through the dreaded portals of Hercules. The Mediterranean ports which had throve upon its bounty suddenly sunk into mere local importance; or, no longer imbibing its fructifying power, became, like Venice, a mournful wreck of their former splendor. The world now breathed westward. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great-Grandmother's Girls in New Mexico: 1670-1680 One of the most interesting accounts of the early visits of the Spaniards to the Pueblos of New Mexico is found in a musty, coffee-colored old volume of the Hakluyt collection of the journals of early adventurers, and is called: - "A briefe relation of two notable voyages, the first made by Frier Augustin Ruyz, a Franciscan, in the yeere 1581; the second by Antonio de Espejo, in the yeere 1583, who, together with his company, discouered a land wherein they found fifteen provinces, all full of towns conteining houses of four and five stories high, which they named New Mexico, for that in many respects it resembleth the province of Olde Mexico ... by the which it is thought that men may travell even to Terra de Labrador. Taken out of the History of China, written by Frier Juan Gonzales de Mendoca; printed in Madrid in 1586." The author of the following story began her explorations where the Spaniards ended, - at the southern boundary of Colorado. The worthy friars' chronicle served her as a trusty guide-book, and it is certainly remarkable that a journal of travel written three hundred years ago can be so completely verified at the present day. As our party journeyed from pueblo to pueblo, we became more and more interested in this strange, weird people and their remarkable history, their civilization old when the "Mayflower" landed, their architecture and dress recalling a visit to the land of the Moors.
