DurhamMartinez's book should be mandatory living for anyone living in a border state. It needs to be updated and re-released with the NAFTA and the Central American Treaties and discussions.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. A very nice collection.By D. GarciaI consider this compilation of essays and historical documents an essential addition to the library of persons interested in US-Mexico borderlands history. The strength is; in my opinion; in its collection of historical writings; which include the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo; the Plan of San Diego; and Juan Cortina's Proclamations. The reader is able to consider events and thoughts that occurred during the period between 1848 and 1915; rather than rely on commentary. However; the well-written essays compliment the documents (and I believe the text was designed with this in mind.) All together; a very nice collection.
