About this book

"Fascinating in-depth study from the historian of French immigration to Mexico. Using documentation drawn almost exclusively from French sources, author details a group that came to Mexico as early as 1826 and settled in Jicaltepec, Veracruz, because of its excellent location on the Nautla River. Recommended"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
