Additional Details:
The house of the Mexican at San Antonio, sometimes called his "Jecale", is most interesting. These homes are built of all adaptable and much unsuitable material; a few stick pickets driven into the ground compose the walls; these are covered with stones, boards, adobe, old tile, old oil cans, or the worn out straw of some primeval thatching.
