Hardcover. Condition: NEW. Illustrated. The diary of America's consul to the early Mexican republic When David Hunter Strother, also known by his pen name Porte Crayon, arrived as U.S. consul general in Mexico City in 1879, Mexico and its society, only a decade removed from French occupation, were initially struggling with quest…ions of national order and stability, with maintenance of independence, and with all aspects of modernization. Achieving these goals without sacrificing its patrimony to imperialistic powers, which had capital to invest, proved to be difficult for Mexico and pushed the nation's quest for stability into another dictatorship. Strother was present at the beginning of U.S. involvement with this phase of Mexico's evolution under President Porfirio Diaz. Porte Crayon's observations of Mexican society, life, and politics were broad yet penetrating and reflective. His perspective, however, extended beyond the political and economic to the land, the people, individual lives, and historical events. Mastering Spanish, as he had previously assimilated the French and Italian languages, Porte Crayon's contacts and experiences encompassed all classes of Mexican society. He possessed the artist's eye for nuance and detail and had the literary energy and skill to record his experiences. Specialists and nonspecialists alike will be entertained and instructed by Strother's amusing anecdotes, his striking characterizations of key figures of the time, and his observations concerning Mexico's modernization process. Porte Crayon's Mexico makes available for the first time valuable and fascinating primary-source material that will appeal to scholars of U.S.-Mexican relations, Mexican history, nineteenth-century American history, and art history.

Paperback. Condition: New. In the early nineteenth century, a ten-mile stretch along the Kanawha River in western Virginia became the largest salt-producing area in the antebellum United States. Production of this basic commodity stimulated settlement, the livestock industry, and the rise of agricultural processing, especially p…ork packing, in the American West. Salt extraction was then and is now a fundamental industry.In his illuminating study, now available with a new preface by the author, John Stealey examines the legal basis of this industry, its labor practices, and its marketing and distribution patterns. Through technological innovation, salt producers harnessed coal and steam as well as men and animals, constructed a novel evaporative system, and invented drilling tools later employed in oil and natural gas exploration. Thus in many ways the salt industry was the precursor of the American extractive and chemical industries. Stealey's informative study is an important contribution to American economic, business, labor, and legal history.
