No dust jacket. According to Seamus O' Fogartaigh (IRISH MIGRATION STUDIES IN LATIN AMERICA, "Ireland and Mexico") Juan Augustin Morfi was "one of the most important explorers and historians of the late 1700s, who emigrated from Galicia in Spain to Mexico, where he became a Franciscan friar in 1761. He traveled extensively throughout Northern Mexico and described life as it was lived by the indigenous people in their pueblos. He also traced maps of some of the uncharted regions, and provided detailed accounts of the flora and fauna that he observed in his travels. His written account of his discoveries as an explorer and cartographer are to be found in his book, Viaje de Indios y diario del Nuevo Mexico (Mexico City: Bibliofilo Mexicanos, 1935). [This is] still an excellent source of information for those who are interested in the history of the regions now known as Texas and New Mexico,formerly the northern provinces of New Spain. Morfi also had a distinguished career as a theologian and lecturer, and occupied a leadership role in the affairs of the Franciscan Order in Mexico until his death in Mexico City in 1783." Robert Oscar de Vette wrote a Ph.D. thesis at Florida State University on the editor of this volume, Vito Allesio Robles, entitled "Biographer of Mexican Cities".…
