A useful reference

This is a useful book for both students and teachers alike. Putting the Mexican frontier in perspective is a formidable task, but by using first hand accounts from all walks of life, the reader can develope an accurate image. The only negative comment is the lack of more period illustrations. Most aspects of frontier life are covered, from the clergy to the military. Both the positive and the negative views are included.
