J.R. Alcorn 1943 Itinerary Friday, February 26, 1943. This morning we contacted numerous persons in an attempt to get ourselves and equipment into Mexico from Laredo, Texas. We succeeded in crossing the bridge and with necessary papers in hand we left Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and drove southward to Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Carts and other implements drawn by oxen were seen between Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey. Small carts, laden with fire wood, milk cans and other material, and drawn by donkeys (one to four) were also a familiar sight along the highway. One Coyote was seen to cross the road in front of the autos and many goats domestic were seen along the highway. Numerous domestic cattle were also seen scattered along the road. They were usually seen feeding on the green grass near the road.
