Excerpt from Isthmus of Darien Ship Canal: With a Full History of the Scotch Colony of Darien, Several Maps, Views of the Country, and Original Documents As I was the only European who had ever crossed by the route I have proposed, and as the terror of the Darien Indians had been, for threecenturies, so prevalent along the whole length and breadth of Terra F irma, I found it impossible to induce any one to accompany me in my subsequent journeys in 1850 and 1851, and come quently had to contend, in England, against the enormous difficulties necessarily to be encountered in my early attempts to bring forward a project of such magnitude, supported only by my own state ments, which appeared the more singular, from the extraordinary fact of this tract of country having remained totally unknown and unexplored up to the period of my first journey to Darien.
