Monday, August 13, 1923. The US recognizes the Mexican Government.

The Bucareli Treaty was signed between the US and Mexico. In exchange for Mexico compensating US companies that had sustained financial losses during the Mexican Revolution, the US recognized the government of Álvaro Obregón.

Obregón.

Gustav Ernst Stresemann became Chancellor of Germany, and the country's Foreign Minister. He was a member of the German People's Party (Deutsche Volkspartei), a centrist political party. Stresemann is its best known member.

The party was dissolved in 1933 and has no legal successor today.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
