| Summary | "The Boy Travellers in Mexico" by Thomas Wallace Knox is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the adventures of two youths, Frank and Fred, as they journey through various regions of Mexico, including Central Mexico, Campeche, and Yucatán, while also providing insights into the culture, history, and geography of the land. At the start of this journey, Frank and Fred are excited to learn about their upcoming trip to Mexico, following their previous adventures in the Pacific Islands. Prepared by their guide, Dr. Bronson, the boys devote time to brushing up on their Spanish and planning their itinerary. They depart from New York, making stops along the way, including a visit to the Alamo in San Antonio, which adds a historical context to their travels. The narrative sets the stage for their exploration while hinting at the rich experiences that await them as they enter Mexican territory, offering a mix of personal reflections, travel preparations, and intriguing discussions about the sociopolitical landscape of the regions they will visit.
