Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports Committee of Investigation: Sent in 1873 by the Mexican Government to the Frontier of Texas The work of the Mexican border Commission has been wonderfully laborious. They visited all the towns and many ranchos not remote from the Rio Grande, all along the river on its right bank, as far up as La Resurreccion, a distance of about 450 miles. Wherever public archives could be found, they ransacked them most industriously, with a view to find some traces of the facts under investigation. They examined nearly 300 witnesses, whose testimonies, with other document ary evidence annexed to the reports, cover pages in manuscript.
