He passed through the Caribbean, lived for a time in the mountains of Veracruz, and journeyed to Mexico City through the cities of Puebla and Cholula. After a brief residence in the capital, Heller moved westward to examine the volcanoes and silver mines near Toluca. When the United States invaded Mexico in 1846-47 conditions became chaotic, and the enterprising botanist was forced to flee to Yucata?n. 607 $aMexico$xDescription and travel 607 $aMexico$xHistory$y1821-1861 676 $a917.204/5 700 $aHeller$b Karl B$g(Karl Bartholoma?us),$f1824-1880.$01564832 701 $aRugeley$b Terry$f1956-$01475018 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778241703321 996 $aAlone in Mexico$93834105 997 $aUNINA
