MEXICO & California Aztec Spanish Mayer Santa Fe Nevada Indians Voyages 2v
Brantz Mayer was a 19th-century American diplomat to Mexico
and Secretary of US legation to Mexico. While his political career was
important, he is best remembered for his book on the history of Mexico and the
Aztec people. This work includes a great deal of information on New Mexico and
California, which was especially pertinent to those Americans migrating west in
search of gold! This 1853 edition of ‘Mexico’
is two volumes bound in one and features an impressive set of full-page and
in-text illustrations depicting landscapes, views of Santa Fe, San Francisco
Bay, Sierra Nevada, Volcano of Jorullo, plants, local ‘Indians’, and much more.
