RE: Any good books about GTO?
Colleen, What a fantastic book! I skimmed it last night and have begun to go through it more thoroughly now. Opinionated and quite racist at times but a great read especially Chp 3 about mining here 100 years ago - and he's great at GTO PR too as seen in this short passage of Tramping through Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras; by Franck, Harry A.

"Take the most perfect day of late May or early June in our North, brush off the clouds, make the air many times fresher and clearer, add October nights, and multiply the sum total by 365, and it is more easily understood why Americans who settle in the Guanajuato region so frequently remain there."

from P 62 here https://archive.org/stream/trampingthrou...2/mode/2up a hard to read copy* but it does have fotos [like the strip search of miners on leaving work].
Easier to read site [no pagination] is http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/7072...mages.html If you have Firefox and enable Reader View it is quite easy on the eyes.

* Go Full Screen on the page and then use the + magnifier button and its OK if your like reading in the original serif typeface.
