Excerpt from Border States of Mexico: Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua and Durango, With a General Sketch of the Republic of Mexico, and Lower California, Coahuila, New Leon and Tamanlipas Believing that a more complete description of the northern part of our sister Republic will conduce to the advancement of the mutual interests of the United States and Mexico, the author submits the result of careful investigation of the four northern states of Mexico to the public. We respectfully acknowledge our indebtedness to ex-governor Monteverde, of Sonora, and Benjamin R. Rountree, John A. Robinson, Don Celedonio Ortiz, L. Gilson, and I. Thannhauser, of this city, and E. C. Hoffman, of San Jose, and many others, for much of the informa tion contained in the following pages. We have also availed ourselves of the valuable and almost inaccessible work of Mr. Ward on Mexico in from which we have taken everything of interest applicable to the subject-matter; and the valuable work of Mr. Mowry on Sonora and Arizona, and the impartial Span ish work of Francisco Velasco on Sonora, and translated into English by Mr. Wm. F. Nye, in this city, in 1861, and the work entitled Travels on the Western Slope of the Mexican Cordillera, by Cincinnatus, and Mr Ruxton's work on Ad ventures in Mexico, and the late work of Antonio Garcia Cubas on The Repub lic of Mexico in translated by Mr. Geo. E. Henderson, in Mexico, and ofiicial records and papers, and numerous other works, including pamphlets both in the English and Spanish languages. We have also been rendered valuable assistance by the Mexican Consul and the Honorable ex-judge of the Supreme Tribunal of Sinaloa and Lower California, Carlos F. Galan, now practicing law in this city, and many other American and Spanish gentlemen, who have kindly ren dered us every assistance in their power. We have endeavored to give only the facts as we find them, without unnecessary embellishments or fanciful description; the Object being to make the contents of value for reference as well as interesting to persons desiring to travel through or emigrate to those portions of Mexico to which we have given our attention, for the purpose of engaging in mining, agriculture, or stock-raising; or for persons desiring to make profitable investments in those four states. We have availed ourselves of every data that we could obtain, in order to give a complete descrip tion, together with routes of travel and distances, cities and towns, the principal business men, the resources of Mexico, etc. We have also included, in a con densed form, a general view of the Republic of Mexico, and the territory of Lower California, and the border states of Coahuila, New Leon, and Tamaulipas. In addition, we have referred to the most important land laws restricting American citizens from acquiring real estate in any of the border states.
