TRAVEL THE PASS EST.1991—

Leon Claire Metz (1930-2020), a celebrated American cultural historian, and I, Sylvia Gevália Landeros, a sociocultural marketing researcher, created Travel The Pass in 1991, a highly endorsed partnership dedicated to exploring and archiving the borderland history of the Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico region. In October 2024, the City of El Paso, Texas, issued a proclamation honoring Leon’s numerous works and accomplishments. October 22, 2024, is recognized as Leon Metz Travel The Pass Day—a 33+-year cornerstone documenting our borderland’s heritage and enhancing understanding through print, broadcast, and STEM academics, all of which contribute to our shared Tri-State regional economic well-being.

City of El Paso Texas: Proclamation Leon Metz-Travel The Pass Day!

MADZINE : COMPLETE WORKS OF LEON METZ The Official Borderland Souvenir—

Is a collection of Leon Metz’s published and unpublished writings, featuring excerpts from his never-released book, Mexican Thunder—The Mexican Revolution, his final manuscript, and our (Sylvia Gevália Landeros) last research undertaking. MADZINE is an academic anthology, a project Leon and I were excited to release; however, as you may know, his health declined owing to Alzheimer’s and Covid, and he passed in 2020. This unprecedented significant work is in his honor; it is a highly regarded compilation that invites seasoned researchers and scholars to engage with his enduring influence in the field of history. This attractively illustrated work bridges the gap between literature and science, reflecting on how the tales of rugged cowboys and intrepid astronauts shape our understanding of adventure and exploration! Themes are presented in intriguing and revealing ways—as cultural objects, in terms of their intellectual impact and their paratextual cultural production and distribution, with each MADZINE edition chronicled for series collection.

Honoring Leon Metz’s U.S. Air Force service at Biggs Army Airfield, located on Fort Bliss Base, and in collaboration with Western Writers of America and NASA Edu Resources, MADZINE is bridging the gap between literature and science, reflecting on how the tales of rugged cowboys and intrepid astronauts shape our understanding of adventure and exploration! MADZINE accentuates our borderland’s military presence spanning from Fort Bliss, Texas, to Sandia Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Area 51 Air Base in Lincoln County, Nevada. These sites serve as modern-day echoes of our Wild West spirit and the relentless human quest for discovery—the grit that defines our borderland! MORE INFO : KFOX GIVING WITH MICHAEL J.

MADZINE : COMPLETE WORKS OF LEON METZ The Official Borderland Souvenir—

Features excerpts from Leon Metz's never-released book, Mexican Thunder—The Mexican Revolution from the vantage point of El Paso, Texas, his final manuscript, and our (Sylvia Gevália Landeros) last research undertaking. The following is an exclusive passage from my mentor's final work: “The Mexican Revolution is frequently perceived by Americans as commencing in March 1916 with Pancho Villa’s startling raid on Columbus, New Mexico. Yet, that raid marked only the “official” U.S. entry into a conflict already underway in Mexico for nearly a decade. What follows then is the incredible, largely untold story of this earlier Mexican turmoil, plus its profound and bloody impact upon the United States/Mexico borderlands. El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, in Chihuahua, Mexico, arose as neighboring communities, cities initially and forever, nationally and culturally divided by history as well as by the Rio Grande". -Leon Metz MORE INFO : WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE and LEON METZ TRAVEL THE PASS PROCLAMATION PRESS RELEASE Video 10.22.2024
