The Bandolero (Illustrated): The Mountain Marriage

The Bandolero: La Puebla de los Angeles is peculiar, even among the cities of modern Mexico; peculiar in the fact, that two-thirds of its population are composed of priests, pelados, poblanas, pickpockets, and incarones of a bolder type. Perhaps I have been too liberal in allowing a third to the "gente de bueno," or respectable people. There are travelers who have altogether denied their existence; but this may be an exaggeration on the other side.
