Journey of L L Lehman from New Orleans to Mexico
In a January report from El Paso Texas Lehman writes of a grueling Gulf coast voyage on an overcrowded steamboat and delays from floods. He describes sleeping car issues and uneasy Texas hospitality, then travels through San Antonio to El Paso del Norte and into Mexico, noting stark contrasts between American and Mexican towns and planning stops toward Mexico City.
