Per Wikipedia Marie Robinson Wright Née Robinson; May 4 1853 - February 1 1914 Was An American Travel Writer Of The Long Nineteenth Century. She Was Elected Member Of Learned Societies In Various Parts Of The World; And Served As A Special Delegate Or Representative To International Expositions. It Was However As An Observer And Especially As A Writer That Wright Gained Her Fame. Her Books Were Written About Brazil Bolivia Chile Peru And Mexico. These Volumes Were Generous Octavos Well Illustrated And Filled With Facts Gathered Chiefly From Authoritative Sources Or Confirmed By Her Own Observations. In 1895 With Her Daughter Ida Dent Wright For Her Sole Companion She Went To Mexico. Secretary Of Foreign Affairs Ignacio Mariscal And President Porfirio Díaz Were Already Her Warm Admirers And It Was To Them She Went With Her Plans. Both These Executives Furnished Her With Letters To Every Governor In Mexico And The President Ordered Not Only A Military Escort Wherever Needed But That Special Trains And Steamboat Facilities Should Be Given Her Throughout The Country. Then She Spent A Year In Thoroughly Inspecting And Studying The Country. Besides Thousands Of Miles Of Railway And Steamboat Traveling Wright And Her Daughter Went Nearly 900 Miles 1400 Km In Mountain Regions On Mules Attended By Military Escort And Penetrating Regions Where None But Indigenous Women Had Been Seen Previously. The Result Of Her Experiences Was Put In A Large Illustrated Book On Mexico Which Was The Most Comprehensive And Beautiful Book On Mexico Ever Written In Any Language And Which Was Ordered In Advance By 8000 Mexican Officials.
