| Summary | "Unknown Mexico, Volume 1" by Carl Lumholtz is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book details Lumholtz's explorations over five years among the tribes of the Sierra Madre in Mexico, notably focusing on the Tarahumares and other indigenous groups. It serves as both an account of his adventures and a valuable ethnographic study of these lesser-known peoples and their cultures. The opening of the book describes Lumholtz's preparations for his expedition to Mexico, including the logistical challenges and the people he encounters while gathering his team and supplies. He vividly captures the natural landscape of Northern Sonora, detailing the flora and fauna, as well as the signs of ancient civilizations that once thrived in the region. As he embarks on his journey, he introduces us to local customs and interactions with the Mexican people, emphasizing their hospitality and the complexities of their social dynamics. This beginning sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the cultural and historical significance of the Sierra Madre and its indigenous inhabitants.
