Excerpt from Capt. James Box's Adventures and Explorations in New and Old Mexico: Being the Record of Ten Years of Travel and Research

I have been prompted to this account of the mine ral resources of Mexico, by having been, for ten years, the daily witness of facts proving the great wealth hidden in the recesses of the Sierra Madre, and lying at the bottom of the rivers emptying into the gulf of California. Jealous to secure to my countrymen a more intimate knowledge of a country toward which English capitalists have already begun to direct their thoughts and endeavors, I resolved to give them the description, imperfect as it is, which my pretty thor ough knowledge of Northern Mexico enables me to communicate.
