Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Chapultepec Castle, and MoreIndexMary Ashley Townsend was a novelist, newspaper columnist, and poet laureate of New Orleans who made several trips to Mexico with her daughter Cora during the last two decades of the 19th century. She collected her impressions of many aspects of life in that country-flora, fauna, architecture, people at work and play, fashion, society, food-and wrote about them during a time when few women engaged in solo travel, much less the pursuit of travel writing. Her collected work was still in progress when she died in a train accident in 1901, and was never publishedAuthors, American19th centuryBiographyMexicoDescription and travelMexicoSocial life and customsElectronic books.Authors, American917.204/81Townsend Mary Ashley1832-1901.1050311Woodward Ralph Lee136010MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457871903321Here and there in Mexico2479987UNINA
