Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from America as I Saw It: Or America Revisited What am I to say to precede this cubist-impression picture of a great country? Odd notes at odd moments, often made at lightning speed, and under all sorts of circumstances and conditions, lie herein. "If you write about America and don´t lay eulogy on with a spoon you will never be able to set foot in the United States of America again, they will hate you so," said a friend. I don´t believe it. Americans are older and wiser and kinder nowadays, and will accept the good, and the bad, and the honesty of both, I feel sure. My first visit to the United States was in 1900 - 1901, on my way to Mexico to write "Mexico as I Saw It," which has run into many editions since then. It appeared at five dollars, with three hundred illustrations, and is now brought up to date, and published in abridged form at twenty-five cents. Cheap sales of goods generally mean deterioration; but cheap editions of books luckily denote the popularity of the originals. My second visit to America was in the winter of 1904, when a telegram received in Chicago from Ex-President General Diaz invited me to return to Mexico for his seventh election.
