About 8 h 10 min of reading35 chapters

Mexico and Its Religion, published by Robert Anderson Wilson in 1855, combines a travel narrative with history and polemic. Wilson, an American lawyer and journalist, describes his journeys in Mexico between 1851 and 1854, from the fever ports of the Gulf coast to the capital and the mining districts, with the roads, inns, markets, churches and festivals he saw along the way. Around these incidents he arranges historical notices of the places visited and a sustained attack on the wealth and power of the Mexican clergy, whom he blames for the condition of the country. The book is dedicated to the American Party, and its views on Catholicism belong to that movement. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
