Book Description
Excerpt from Adventures in Mexico: Experienced During a Captivity of Seven Months On his return to the United States, the Author had not conceived the idea of presenting to the public a narrative of his adventures, especially in this form. True, he experienced much which was of great moment and peculiar interest to himself, yet he was loath to reconcile the belief, even upon the repeated assurances of his friends, that he should be able to interest others. To what extent he may have merited the partiality of those friends, the public will now have an opportunity to judge. The fact that numerous publications, already scattered over the States, purporting to describe the people, country, and institutions of a land to whose destiny all eyes seem now eagerly turned, is a circumstance foreboding the spirit of distrust in which a new production may be received. And in a narrative of this character, the public are apt to anticipate that national or individual prepossessions may produce an unfavorable effect upon the writer - that mere prejudice or passion may direct his thoughts or color his language. Indeed, it is no easy task to assure such a work against such an influence; and although the Author's treatment, while a prisoner, served to impress upon him no very high esteem or favorable regard for those who held him in bondage contrary to all rules of civilization, it does not follow that he should hazard his reputation by venturing upon any intentional misstatement of material facts.
