Planning a\ncomprehensive exploration of South America, I concluded to reach that\ncontinent by some less monotonous route than the steamship's track; and\nherewith is presented the unadorned narrative of what I saw on the\nway,the day-by-day experiences in rambling over bad roads and into\nworse lodging-places that infallibly befall all who venture afield south\nof the Rio Grande. The present account joins up with that of five months\non the Canal Zone, already published, clearing the stage for a larger\nforthcoming volume on South America giving the concrete results of four\nunbroken years of Latin-American travel.\nYou are really in Mexico before you get there. Laredo is a\npurelythough not pureMexican town with a slight American\ntinge. Scores of dull-skinned men wander listlessly about trying to sell\nsticks of candy and the like from boards carried on their heads. There\nare not a dozen shops where the clerks speak even good pidgin English,\nmost signs are in Spanish, the lists of voters on the walls are chiefly\nof Iberian origin, the very county officers from sheriff downor\nupare names the average American could not pronounce, and the\nsaunterer in the streets may pass hours without hearing a word of\nEnglish. Even the post-office employees speak Spanish by preference and\nI could not do the simplest business without resorting to that tongue.\nI am fond of Spanish, but I do not relish being forced to use it in my\nown country.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 7072 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Franck, Harry Alverson \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Dec 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Franck, Harry Alverson,1881-1962 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43215391981725,"sku":"gb-7072-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/7072.jpg?v=1671286198","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/tramping-through-mexico-guatemala-and-honduras-gb-7072","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
