Episode Synopsis

This second installment of JSW Radio Archive contains a brief excerpt from British lieutenant W. H. Hardy's epic travelog "Travels in the Interior of Mexico, 1825, 1926, 1827 & 1828." Harvey was both a keen observer and awfully misinformed, producing important descriptions and maps, but making many errors due to his poor grasp of the Spanish language and the cultural superiority believes and racism of the times. The narration takes us to the port of Guaymas in July 1826, after Hardy's long, tortuous trip across Sonora and the Yaqui territories.
