Beyond the Mexican Sierras
_By_
DILLON WALLACE WITH PHOTOGRAPHS AND A MAP
With the intense interest in Mexico which now obtains everywhere, this
fascinating volume attains to new values.
"There is no area of equal extent that can approach Mexico in wealth of
natural resources, variety of climate, grandeur of scenery, prehistoric
ruins, and romantic history," writes the author in his Introduction.
"Here you witness the incomparable scenery of an old, new land with its
snow-clad peaks, its magnificent mountain heights, its awe-inspiring
canyons, its vast plains, its picturesque villages, its ancient ruins,
its historic towns, and quaint corners.
"Within the borders of our neighbor republic there is a territory
one-quarter as large as the United States, with a coast line of six
thousand miles. In Mexico practically every product of the soil of the
tropical and temperate zones can be grown to perfection. Here are vast
primordial forests, and incalculable wealth of minerals."
This story of travel and exploration, with its fine descriptions of the
life of the people, history, and resources, possesses unfailing value
and interest. A large folding map accompanies the many photographs.
