"A discussion of the unusual nature of the Mexico-US border, which spawned twin cities on both sides of the frontier. Begins with a brief review of the colonial period and growth of US forts constructed to counter-balance already existing Mexican towns. Continues through the 19th century and concludes with a review of the events of the 1990s"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
