These books tell of its history, describe its cities, public buildings, and monuments, and quote miles of statistics on its natural resources and commercial possibilities, or are deeply analytical of underlying national characteristics. Most of them are interesting, particularly at the present time. Many of them have been written after careful and painstaking study, and with a thorough acquaintance with the countries and people described in them. The present volume does none of these things. In the first place, it was not designed to do so - in fact, it was not designed at all - simply growing out of random notes made on two trips to the various countries that are most visited by those of us who wander that way. These trips to South America have not been out of the ordinary. They have simply followed the beaten track, and I have met only with the usual experiences. I have not gone into out-of-the-way places, nor enjoyed special advantages that would enable me to hear or see more than any one else travelling over the same route. While my stays in these countries have been much longer than those of the casual visitor, they have not, I am frank to confess, been long enough for me to interpret the real significance of the contemporaneous life that is going on from year to year to the south of us; nor have I in any way attempted to do so. Interest in South America has increased greatly in this country during the past few years. More Americans - I was about to say "North Americans," in accordance with South American custom - will visit our sister continent than ever before. Many more would like to do so.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of Indian America: Illustrating Present-Day Life in Mexico and Parts of Central and South America Indians is the result of the attitude of mind of the ruling class toward them. They are not supposed to have any self-respect. Overseers frequently strike them, and children of families where servants are kept are accustomed to domineer over them in a rude and heartless, manner. The Indian has been used as a beast of burden, and brutalised by whip pings and strong drink. While not savages like their brethren in the Amazon forests, they are yet far from being civilised. They have simply been domesticated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Big Ships are plying back and forth through the new canal, and every year it grows a little easier to travel in South America. Nowadays a trip to Callao is likely to be advertised by enterprising steamship companies along with tours to Bermuda or over the Great Lakes. Here are twelve men who have done big things for those countries beyond Panama - the men who ought to head our list of South American acquaintances. Whether a patriot like San Martin, or a rascal like Pizarro; loved by his countrymen like Bolivar, or hated like Rosas; a brilliant success like Mr. Grubb, or a failure like Allen Gardiner - all had their Share in the making of the continent, as Washington and Jackson and Lincoln helped in the making of our country.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Collver Tours (Away-From-the-Usual) Of All South America To take a trip to Europe has become one of the commonplaces of life, Of late a visit to Japan and a tour around the world have become the mode and have seemed the ne plus ultra in travel. But all is not yet said. A few years more and the query will arise: Have you been to South America? Do not then feel content in the thought that you have seen the whole world, while one half of it, the Southern Hemisphere, is still unexplored! The Collver Tours Company, in Nineteen Hundred Five, announced the first tour of all South America ever planned by any travel agency and were thus the pioneers in this delightful and novel field for the pleasure seeker, which is now attracting very general attention amongst travelers of the advanced class, to whom this little book makes its appeal. Do you know that on the other side of the equator there is a city of a million inhabitants, which in appearance will bear comparison with the capitals of Europe and in some respects will surpass any of our own cities? That there are nations whose size, resources, and present development entitle them to the respect and attention of the whole world, that there is scenery more magnificent than any which this country or Europe affords and that there are comfortable, oft-times luxurious means of travel? Mr. John Barrett, formerly American minister to Argentina and Panama, and recently minister to Colombia, makes the following declaration: "I would that it were in my power to divert a small part of our travelers for pleasure and observation from Europe and Asia to South America, and particularly to Argentina, Chile, and southern Brazil. A diversion of study and investigation of this kind would exert a mighty influence in educating the North American people to a realization of the fact that we should devote more time and energy to making the intimate acquaintance of our Latin neighbors. It would demonstrate how ignorant many of us are of what Latin America can do and is doing under favorable conditions of temperate climate and national wealth. It might teach some critics of Spanish America to remove the 'beams' from their own eyes before they point out the 'motes' in those of their southern neighbors."

It will, moreover, be noted that all titles and quo tations from the texts of early colonial writers are given in modernized Spanish.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Getting Together With Latin America IN preparing this book no attempt has been made to go into all the details of Latin Ameri can trade, and other conditions, or to prepare a complete and analytical treatise on our past, present and future relations with the republics of South and Central America. To do that would require not one, but many, volumes, each far more comprehensive than the present work, for an entire book might be devoted to the business conditions in each republic. Al though conditions, customs and affairs differ greatly in the various countries of Latin America, yet the same generalities prevail, with but few exceptions, and I have endeavored to treat of matters in a broad and comprehensive manner without the finer distinctions which would relate to individual republics.
