The book is a fascinating account of Bishop's journey through Mexico, Southern California, and Arizona, where he explored the rich history, culture, and landscapes of these regions.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of Bishop's travels. He begins by describing his journey from New York to Cuba, where he spent some time exploring the island before heading to Mexico. In Mexico, Bishop visited several cities, including Mexico City, Puebla, and Guadalajara, where he observed the architecture, art, and customs of the people.Bishop also traveled to the Yucatan Peninsula, where he explored the ancient Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza and Uxmal. He describes these sites in great detail, providing readers with a vivid picture of the history and culture of the Mayan people.After leaving Mexico, Bishop traveled to Southern California, where he visited Los Angeles, San Diego, and other cities. He describes the natural beauty of the region, including the beaches, mountains, and deserts, as well as the cultural and social life of the people.Finally, Bishop traveled to Arizona, where he explored the Grand Canyon and other natural wonders. He also visited several Native American tribes, including the Navajo and Apache, and learned about their traditions and way of life.Overall, Old Mexico and Her Lost Provinces is a fascinating and informative travelogue that provides readers with a unique insight into the history, culture, and landscapes of Mexico, Southern California, and Arizona in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
