No sooner had they arrived in Mexico than the Spanish settlers discovered silver. They then constructed a road 3,000 km long to transport the silver extracted from the mines northward, then towards the West. A road full of hopes, and riddled with pitfalls and dangers. This is the road Christopher Cousin is going to take, from Mexico to the southern United States.
