Continuidad y cambio en las fronteras internas del norte de México en el siglo xix

This article analyse the areas that existed in the States of Northern Mexico and served as internal frontiers for commerce and war from 1830 to 1880. In these areas Apache and Comanche Indians, cattle rustlers and northern “vecinos” made exchanges taking advantage of the lower control by the civilian and military Mexican authorities. Primarily the cattle theft was one of the most important activities due to the contacts existing on both sides of the borders.
