Overland travel between the United States and Mexico became instantly faster, smoother, and cheaper when workers connected the two countries' rail lines in 1884, creating intense curiosity in the United States about Mexico, its people, and its opportunities for business and pleasure. As a result, so many Americans began to travel south of the border during the Porfiriato that observers from both sides of the border began to quip that the visiting hordes of tourists and business speculators constituted a "foreign invasion," a phrase laced with irony given that it appeared at the height of public debate in the United States about the nation's imperial future. These travelers created a rich and varied record of their journeys, constructing Mexico as a nation at the cusp of modernity but requiring foreign intervention to reach its full potential"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAmericans$xTravel$zMexico$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aTourism$zMexico$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aInvestments, American$zMexico$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aMexico$xHistory$y1867-1910 615 0$aAmericans$xTravel$xHistory 615 0$aTourism$xHistory 615 0$aInvestments, American$xHistory 676 $a917.2/04 686 $aHIS036060$aHIS025000$2bisacsh 700 $aRuiz$b Jason$01532238 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788313503321 996 $aAmericans in the treasure house$93778324 997 $aUNINA
