Domenech was a missionary in Texas and Mexico and chaplain and almoner in the service of Maximilien Emperor of Mexico. He wrote a number of works on the American southwest and the American Indian including a rather unfortunate treatise which seriously discredited his scholarly abilities. This particular work is based on a number of sources including an earlier book Missionary Adventures in Texas and Mexico but it is chiefly a compilation from Pacific Railroad reports from which some of the plates were also taken. Other plates are lifted from the work of George Catlin. Parts of the text relate to Texas New Mexico California Utah Oregon Louisiana Minnesota &c. with some mention of Canada.
