Description: "Documental study of Mexican plans to prepare Baja California for colonization in an environment still characterized by mistrust and fear following the loss of Texas, the war with the US, and the French intervention. Idea concocted by Secretario de Fomento Carlos Pacheco and assistant Sánchez Facio was to use British rather than US colonists. Essential work for understanding both the history of Baja California and Mexican immigration policy"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
