Mining prospector, John Flippin's adventures during five years in the Sierra Madres of southwesternChihauhau. Considered a very accurate account of an, at the time, little known region. "We cannot be told too much concerning oursister republic to the South; if the narrator isintelligent in his observations, and truthful inhis record. A residence of five years in one ofthe least known regions of Mexico, and a naturally keen habit of observation, have aided theauthor to no small extent, and he has crowdeda great deal of valuable information into thespace occupied. The book is especially recommended to tourists across the Rio Grande, as itexplains and describes much of the social lifeand many of the customs of the Mexicans."--National Magazine (1890).
