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.
