Excerpt from South America The history of a continent such as South America, con fined to the limits of a single volume of moderate size, must of necessity contain some elements of mere survey. Nevertheless, since in no other but a condensed form could the respective strides achieved by the various nations of this continent be satisfactorily judged and compared, the author is encouraged to hope that this small work may fill in one of the most obvious of the many gaps in the English versions of South American history. He has endeavoured to lay stress on the trend of the authorities and peoples in question rather than to emphasize the rigid succession of Governors and Presi dents. In the same way, since space has had to be con sidered, it was thought desirable to introduce at any length only those personalities notable for their actions and intrinsic inﬂuence, leaving in the background those others whose only claim to the interest of posterity lies in the weight of the Office they held.

Excerpt from Across Unknown South America, Vol. 1 of 2 South America is, to my mind, the Coming Conti nent -the Continent of the future. Everybody knows the wealth of the Argentine, Peru, Chile, and Bolivia; but the interior of Brazil, the largest and richest country of all, not unlike forbidden Tibet, was perhaps better known a century or two ago than now. Few people realize that Brazil is larger than the United States of North America, Germany, Portugal, and a few other countries taken together. The interior is practically a term incognita - although the ancient Jesuits and, at a later date, escaped slaves and native rubber collectors have perhaps found their way inland to a considerable distance.

Excerpt from To Hell and Back: My Trip to South America Ell has been glowingly described as a popular and populous place and since I had so Often been told to go there I bought a ticket for South America. Chicago was our first stop. The city divides honor With bean-eating Boston as a windy burg, puffing itself up with pride over What it should be most ashamed. The herd Of humanity rushes here like cattle to Armour's slaughter house, to become food for jails, hospitals, poorhouses, asylums and cemeteries. Shelley - said Hell was a city very much like London, but then he never saw Chicago. From what I saw and heard, If Christ came to Chicago he must have left on the next train.

Excerpt from Through South America's Southland: With an Account of the Roosevelt Scientific Expedition to South America It is now three and thirty years since duty first led me to our sister republic of Mexico. The interest which I had previously felt in the achievements Of the Conquistadores was greatly eu hanced by my sojourn among their descendants, in the valley of Anahuac, and has since continued to grow with the passing years.

Excerpt from Trade and Travel in South America As I still believe that prefaces are more frequently passed over than read, this book has no preface, but it has a distinct object which will soon be manifest; and as facts, shipping, commercial and geographical, may be regarded by the majority of Britons as dry and uninteresting, I desire to so intermix those contained in this volume with the story of my travels round South America, and some of the stories one hears e72 voyage, that the facts, being food for the mind, may come as an agreeable and delightful solid after a light and pleasant entree. To ask you to credit all the yarns re-told would be to make too great a demand upon your credulity. Some are true, others you willjudge of, and all I trust will be found entertaining, tho' the keen wits of my readers may discover some fossils amongst them. The one great fact I have had seared into my mind as with a branding iron, in ajourney covering miles by sea and land, in intimate touch with the trade and commerce of a large and important continent, is.

Excerpt from Two on a Tour in South America T looks like South America this time - and in a hurry. What do you say about being ready to start in six weeks? Orange-blossom made this announcement just before Christmas - of all times. I gulped hard, sat up straight, and gasped, South America! But why? Who under the sun buys books there? A kaleidoscopic array of monkeys, butterﬂies, orchids, yellow fever, revolutions and coffee chased madly through my brain - about my only associations with the other half of our continent.

Excerpt from The Future of South America Owing to the many exceedingly useful books on Latin America already published, I hesitate somewhat in preparing another. Most if not all of the books now issued, however, are written either for the traveler or the historian, without special appeal to commercial and industrial interests. In view of this I have, during the past few years, been systematically collecting in formation regarding Latin America which should be of service to those looking at this continent from a money. Making, rather than from an historical, point of view. Although I have personally visited most of the countries of South America, I do not pose as a traveler. My visits have been short, on strictly business mis sions, and some of the cities about which I have written pages I have been in but a short time. Therefore I do not attempt to compete with the seasoned traveler nor the man who has spent many years in these southern republics.
