Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The City and County of El Paso, Texas: Containing Useful and Reliable Information Concerning the Future Great Metropolis of the Southwest; Its Resources and Advantages for the Agriculturist, Artisan and Capitalist The little work which we here offer has been prepared in more of a hurry than we could obviate, as our time and business engagements while occupied upon it did not permit of that application to it of attention and labor which a due performance of the undertaking really demanded. Nevertheless, we send it forth as it is, with the assurance that we have set forth with equal fidelity the advantages and disadvantages of our county and locality; and we stand ready to verify them. No organized effort of the kind has heretofore been attempted; this fact, among others, suggested to us the advantages we might reasonably expect from such organized and well directed effort, furnishing reliable and authentic information, by an authoritative source. But far above any other motive, we are actuated by a desire to labor in the task of elevating El Paso County, and the large area of country that must be dependent upon and tributary to it (which therefore must enrich it), to that high position in the world of wealth and business to which her natural resources and her natural advantages certainly give her a commanding claim. The population of El Paso County hitherto has not, unfortunately, been of the progressive kind. The Spanish or Mexican Indian race of whom, until the advent of the railways, four years ago, about ninety-nine hundredths of the population was composed, and of which one-half of it is still composed - has caused the country to progress scarcely a move in the great march of material wealth and improvement, beyond what it was in the days of the Spanish vice-royalty in Mexico, to which it was once subject. Up to that time (1881) this was practically a "terra incognita." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
