Enjoying the Details

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo created the Border Commission to memorialize the line. This books tells the story of the Commission. And the story has lots of twists and turn. If you have an interest in maps or how borders came to be La Gran Linea is an excellent quick read. You learn how San Diego came to be in the US, and why the crossing at Nogales is located where it is.
