About this book

Frank and Fred travel through Mexico with Doctor Bronson in a story that mixes youthful adventure with lessons in geography and history. Published in 1890, Thomas Wallace Knox's The Boy Travellers in Mexico follows routes through northern and central Mexico, Campeachey, and Yucatan. Its chapter headings connect railway travel and city streets with markets, mining, food, farming, and the country's past.

One scene follows the boys into the Church of San Domingo and the nearby School of Medicine. The school occupies a building that has served several earlier purposes, giving their sightseeing a historical dimension. Conversations with their guide and the Doctor turn observations into explanations. For readers interested in how nineteenth-century writers taught children about other countries, the book offers a mixture of travel narrative, practical detail, and period attitudes.
