About This Book

A travel-based study treats Mexico as an integrated topographical and political entity, drawing on first-hand journeys to combine landscape description with historical narrative. It surveys pre-Columbian civilizations and their monumental architecture, then recounts the arrival of the Spaniards and the process of conquest. It traces colonial administration and Church influence, the struggles for independence and the turbulent nineteenth-century political changes. It examines physical geography—plateaus, mountain ranges, climatic zones, flora and fauna—and assesses mineral resources, mining towns, railways, agriculture, and industry. It concludes with an account of ethnic composition, social conditions, customs, and everyday life observed by the traveler.
