Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Contributor, Vol. 2: December, 1880
We soon forgot all about this yarn, true or false. Our young friends, A. Gwyn Foster, nephew of the American Minister to Mexico, and Amos W. Butler, Ornithologist, from Brookville, Indiana, were riding on the pilot of the engine, taking in the scenery; while Elders James, 2. Stewart, Meliton G. Trejo and the writer were doing their part noting the loveliness of the valley below, with its farms mapped out and appearing like the squares of a chess board. As we rise higher and higher, we see Orizaba, grand, silent, white robed and beautiful, still towering thou sands of feet above; like the eye of the Almighty, it seems ever looking down upon us. From this point, later, we gazed into what appeared a fathomless deep of rolling clouds, filling the valley beneath. With wonder and admiration we watched them gather up into billowy heaps, and then expand with spraying edges like the lace of a bridal veil; beyond, rose the dark outline of rugged, uneven mountains; beneath, we knew, were quiet hamlets, cultivated fields, and blossoming trees. We now cross frail bridges, pass through long tunnels, and skirt steep banks. Pulling around a sharp curve, to the left, we gaze thou sands of feet down into a wonderfully grand cation, the waters of which foam as they rush over falls and dash against the huge rocks.
