Toward the Sania Buthie MCily celebrations and Mexican quarter life
A chaotic travelogue describes a plaza filled with military and civic activity, the fort, and the contrast between American and purely Mexican quarters in a border city. It details the cathedral, adobe church, markets, crafts, and vivid street scenes amid a developing town with remontant colonial landmarks and native wares.
Old adobe church and colonial relics near the stream
The article describes a historic riverside scene with a Cavent and a small chapel overlooking the stream where locals wash. It recalls the San Miguel church built by Franciscan padres after 1582, later burned and rebuilt, its interior and beams aged but intact, and a painting of St Michael over the altar. A Spanish inscription cites the Royal Esign and Don Augustin Plums Vergara in 1710. The piece then shifts to a portrait of Rosell Sage, a famed New York figure noted for immense wealth and frugal attire, his controversial Ottoman claims, and legal services rendered for $10,000, with the claim sold to Russell Sage and pursued as a opportunistic business move.
