Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New Mexico, Her Natural Resources and Attractions: Being a Collection of Facts, Mainly Concerning Her Geography, Climate, Population, Schools, Mines and Minerals, Agricultural and Pastoral Capabilities, Prospective Railroads, Public Lands, and Spanish Ans Mexican Land Grants The little work 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 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. The only thing of the kind heretofore attempted was the pamphlet of about one hundred pages, Interesting Items regarding New Mexico, gotten up and published last year by Governor Arny, the edition of which, owing to the great demand for it from abroad, was soon exhausted. This fact among others suggested to us the preparation of something of the same kind - though far above and beyond this motive we were actuated by a desire to labor in the task of elevating New Mexico to the 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 New Mexico hitherto has not, unfortunately, been of the progressive kind. The Spanish and Mexican race, of whom until recently ten tenths, and at this time nine tenths of the population is composed, has caused the country to progress scarcely a move in the march of material improvement and wealth beyond what it was in the days of the Spanish vice-royalty in Mexico to which it was once subject. Hitherto we have had almost absolutely no institutions of learning, no statesmen, no public spirit, no boards of immigration, no colonies, no railroads.
