Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pictures of Life in Mexico, Vol. 2 of 2
Still the arriero urges onward - onward ever! Trusty ever! Hearty ever! Uncomplaining and enduring as the mule, his dumb com panion: ever anxious to fulfil his engage ment, and to merit the confidence which has been reposed in him. Now he approaches a deep ravine upon the great Rio del Norte, through which, for several miles, the pent-up stream rushes in rapid tor rents. Not even an Indian canoe can pass those deep-sunk streams; and the abyss, viewed by a stranger from its top, is wonderfully magnificent and fearful. The sides of the craggy precipices are in some places almost perpendicular; while in others they overhang, at a tremendous height, the furious current below. Here the river is broad, there it nar rows to a rapid rivulet at one point the rocks appear ready to fall on each other.
