Jasper County Democrat, Volume 20, Number 37, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 August 1917 — Mendoza Is Old City. [ARTICLE]

Mendoza Is Old City.

Mendoza is the metropolis of western Argentina. It is a city of some size carefully planned and able to stand comparison with any town in the new world or the old one the point of municipal beauty. It looks distinctly new, but as a matter of fact it is one of the oldest towns in the western hemisphere. It was founded fifty years before the well-known settlement of Jamestown in Virginia, while the fathers and mothers of the Pilgrims were still living peacefully in England.
