Six Weeks In South America Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Six Weeks in South America To the few friends for whom alone these pages are destined, I need not apologize for the many literary imperfections which they doubtless contain. My object has been to record plainly and briefly the sights which I have seen, and the impressions which naturally suggested themselves to my mind, during a visit to a part of the world whose beauties are as yet unhackneyed by tourists, and where adventure and novelty may still be found in travel. The importance of the isthmus of Panama in every point of view can hardly be over-estimated: and the present rush of emigrants westward, and the daily increasing prospect of its continuance, have given to that locality, both commercially and politically, an interest such as no other country at this moment can boast.
