Excerpt from Voyage au Mexique: De New-York à Véra-Cruz, en Suivant les Routes de Terre
La chaleur est si intense, que des incendies naissent spontanément dans les hautes herbes. Par deux fois, le train traverse à toute vapeur une portion de prairie en feu; les flammes viennent lécher les roues, une épaisse fumée pénètre dans les wagons qui se transforment en véritables fournaises personne ne prend garde a cet événement journalier. Tout le long de la voie ferrée on rencontre de vastes espaces noircis par le feu. Parfois dans l'éloigne ment, une immense colonne de fumée indique la place de ces feux de prairies. La colonne monte majestueusement dans la direction du vent, et se déploie dans le ciel comme un nuage opaque derrière lequel le soleil se devine à peine.
