Mexico City, October ~, 1903
From conversations and from what
/ / have read about Mexico City since
crossing the Rio Grande, / was some
what prepared to see a fine city, but
1t exceeds all representations.
1t was a, city of a tolera bly, civilized
people. the AZtecs. years and years
before Columbus discovered America.
IL was destroyed by the Spaniards
one hundred years before the Pilgrims
landed at Plymouth. It was at once
rebuilt, on a scale four times as large
and was a city of palaces. paved
streets and marble baths while New
York was yet New Amsterdam.
In the United States the develop
ment has always been from the sea
toward the interior. We feel that all
development must be that way. In
Mexico. however. it is the other way
Mexico City was grand city before
railroads were thought of and con
tnued as such without more than
mountain trails to the sea, until the
year I was born 1879, when the
Queens Own" to Vera Cruz was
completed.
From the foregoing you might ex-
pect to see city covered with moss
and cobwebs, but not So Many Of
the things you see-buiIdings, cathe-
drals, etc, while of great age, do not
show It in the least, which IS due,
suppose, TO TWO things.
Substantialness of construction and
high altitude
These buildings have walls Of in
credible thickness (from our Ameri-
can standpoint) and at an elevation of
seven thousand feet above the sea,
decay is extremely slow.
The architecture. Spanish and
French, under a. strong Aztec influ-
ence, is most pleasing to the eye.
The streets are regularly laid off,
many of them wide and asphalted, and
the parks are things of beauty.
The influence of the United States
is seen in the hurrying trolley cars,
the electric lights and the flying au-
tomobiles
