Excerpt from The Land of the Montezumas Months of delightful travel have at length landed our indomitable party at the borderland of the ancient realm of the Montezumas, and promise to bring us to the realization of our desire to visit a foreign land - a land far more foreign, indeed, to our Anglo-Saxon ideas and customs than any of the cultured countries of civilized Europe, and as different as the holy cities of Palestine, or as Egypt under the Ptolemies. En route we lingered long in the beautiful city of Denver, that gate-way to the marvelous mountain scenery of our American Alps, looking, as it does, on one side across the vast prairies stretching out for hundreds of miles between it and its sister cities of the East, and on the other to the rising foot-hills and proud peaks of the Rockies.
