Into them was wrought the character of that remarkable race. Their buildings came from the soil. You see their architectural motives in the mesas and cliffs on which, and of which, their towns were built. The long history of that race is in this building. It is a tribute to their life in nature. "Again, it embodies the finest elements of the churches in which our...
Page 700 - Mexico was at every point based upon this principle, that the internal settlement of the affairs of Mexico was none of our business; that we had no right to interfere with or to dictate to Mexico in any particular with regard to her own affairs.
