Other Titles: Half snap shot at Mexico Abstract: Pomeroy traveled from El Paso, Texas to Mexico City, stopping off at Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Zacatecas, Aguas Calientes, Guadalajara, and Guanajuato along the way. His journal of his trip largely consists of observations on the daily hardships of an American tourist in Mexico. He is also deeply interested in the troubled relationship between the Catholic Church and the Mexican government under Porfirio Diaz, a government he perceives as dangerously liberal and anti-Catholic. Some of the travelogue's more interesting components are its numerous photographs, including 10 hand-colored photographs. Most of the photographs depict prominent buildings and well-known tourist sites, while the hand-colored photographs depict Mexicans in traditional dress engaged in everyday activities. n Reviews Add a review and share your thoughts with other readers. http://www.worldcat.org/title/12-snap-shot-at-mexico/oclc/56522052&referer=brief_results Page 2 of 3 , OCR Text: 1/2 stup shot at Mexico.
