ZAMORA AND THE ONCE PUEBLOS (1898) The morning train from Guadalajara brought us to Negrete at about two in the afternoon, and we had soon mounted to the top of the clumsy old coach, which was dragged by six horses.

The road to Zamora runs through a rich farming district.

For the greater part of the distance the road is level and passes amidst great _haciendas_.

The corn crop had been abundant and carts were constantly coming and going from and to the fields.

These carts were rectangular, with side walls some four or five feet in height, made of corn-stalks set close together and upright.
All were drawn by oxen.
