Talk:John F. Finerty

John F. Finerty Reports Porfirian Mexico
This is the title of a remarkable, 334-page manuscript detailing Finerty's 1879 excursion into Mexico, which Finerty intended as a book. He died before publishing it, and passed it to his heirs. The University Research Institute of the University of Texas at El Paso commissioned historian Wilbert H. Timmons to edit this manuscript, which was published in 1974. Prior to his political career, Finerty was a notable journalist in the U.S. Attached to the American Industrial Deputation to Mexico by Chicago Times editor Wilbur F. Storey, Finerty ducked his excursion party and went about exploring the country on his own. If there are no objections, I plan to summarize notable fragments and add them to this entry, as well as set it in order and clean up the references. friendly regards, William WilliamEHillis (talk) 22:13, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
