4.9/5 (18065 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Two Thousand Miles Through the Heart of Mexico About two years ago the author was enabled to make somewhat of an extended tour through the lotus land of Mexico, which is almost as old as time and as quaint as Egypt itself. Mexico is a marvelous conglomerate of the ancient and the modern - the pathetic and the ludicrous. To gaze upon a country and mingle with a people of whom he had read much in various books had long been a cherished desire of his heart. And to be able to gratify that desire constituted an epoch in his life. When but a mere lad he had read the glowing accounts of the famous battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, the storming of Monterey, and the victory of Buena Vista, where the brave Taylor and his gallant troops won renown. He had also read of the bombardment of Vera Cruz and its capture, along with the Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa, the storming of the heights of Cerro Gordo, the battles of Contreras and Molino del Rey, and the fall of Chapultepec. Little did he then think that his feet would ever press the soil crimsoned with the blood of his countrymen in the far-away land of the Aztecs. Of course, in a tour through Mexico there were many points of special interest to be visited. In the following pages he has kept in view the history of the stirring events of the war of 1846 and 1847, interwoven alike, as they are, in the annals of our own as well as in those of our sister republic.
