Title A name given to the resource Pacific Colony Description An account of the resource Like most songs and poems about Topolobampo, the “Pacific Colony” conveys a sense of hope and excited expectation of said colony. Written by Mrs. A.H. Rowell, the song describes Topolobampo as a “beautiful city” which, considering the colony never materialized as such, is an idealistic characteristic. Moreover, it seems this song was intended to invoke a sense of commonality among people who, tired of “living [w]here base competition doth reign,” are looking for change. “Let’s away to the land,” commands the song’s chorus, to the land where “we’ll build happy homes and be free.” Considering that there is mention of housebuilding, it would not be fair to say this song is entirely idealistic – work on behalf of the colony’s inhabitants is expected. This work, however laborious, will surely be worth it if the result is a city in which everyone lives one harmonious coexistence.
