Alicia,

A section of what I'm transcribing contains also just text and I plan
to create a separate text file for that.  Excel is not very well
suited for that and besides if we add all the text into one of the
columns then we won't be able to manipulate the data as data.

About the Recto and Verso it simply refers to the front and back of
each sheet.  We have to use those numbers instead of the numbers that
are inscribed in the document itself because with the Recto-Verso
numbers we can go back and locate any specific piece of information
that we need to verify.

what I think you are referencing:

The Mexican race now see, in the fate of the aborigines of the north, 
their own inevitable destiny.  They must amalgamante and be lost, in 
the superior vigor of the Anglo-Saxon race, or they must utterly 
perish.  They may postpone the hour for a time, but it will come, 
when their nationallity shall cease.

When I was in college back in the early '60s, I read a
number of old news articles that were written by a
California judge in the late 1800s about Mexicans and
they were very cruel.  You could actually feel the
hatred he had for us even back at that time.  After
the military take over by the Americans of California,
life must have been very hard for our people.  

Freedom does have a price.
