Beyond the Mexican Sierras Paperback -

These are Prescott's words of introduction to that fascinating classic, The Conquest of Mexico. In accurate as he may have been in his estimate Of the extent and magnificence Of the Aztec Empire, Pres cott made no exaggeration in his measure of the country itself. Indeed, I am tempted to enlarge his comparison, and assert that in all the two continents Of the Western Hemisphere 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.
