Book Description
Excerpt from A Central American Journey The attempt to combine in the form of a story for children an account of travel in the various countries of Central America and certain information on our commercial relations with these countries needs a word of explanation. The second of the two elements may seem, at first sight, to have no place in a book for young readers; for the commerce of today is so many-sided and complex in its operations, it depends for its success on so many elements in agricultural, political, and financial conditions, that the subject might well seem too involved for the understanding even of Macaulay's often quoted schoolboy. It must be remembered, however, that salesmanship is the romance of today, and the linking of nation with nation, the world over, by friendly trade relations is the romance of the immediate future. Children hear their parents, older brothers, and uncles talk of some successful adventure in salesmanship as the youngsters of a past generation heard of the settlement of the Great West and the voyages of daring Yankee merchantmen to the Orient. It will be found that the subject of commerce has in itself great possibilities of interest for boys and girls. Successful commerce, as our exporters have found out, must take into account an element which is not down in tables of statistics, which has never been reduced to a formula - and that is human nature. Every business transaction is a human relation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Central America and Its Problems: An Account of a Journey From the Rio Between the Mexican and the Panaman borders are five nations. New Orleans is nearer their farthest port than it is to New York. To the average American they form the fever-stricken playground of opera bouffe revolutions. But how little he really knows of a region which lies at our very doors! It remains almost the last track unbeaten by tourist travel in the world, rich in resources, its Cordilleran highlands, with their climate of eternal spring, the natural home of a splendid civilization. With a broader view in mind than the humorous appreciation of armies with generals outnumbering privates or of recurring disorders which sporadically attract our attention, in the summer and autumn of 1908, at the request of Mr. McCormick, of the Chicago Tribune, I made a journey through Mexico, Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. As a journalist, he knew that people did not care to read about so troublesome a subject; but as our foreign policy is the result of public knowledge and opinion, it was at least a good thing, he thought, to give them the opportunity.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Winter in Central America and Mexico The knights of old journeyed into distant lands to do deeds of chivalry; the knights of to-day, more practical though not less courageous, go searching for the North Pole, for gold, for knowl edge, for adventure; but who of them has gone into distant, uncivilized lands in search of coffee? Such was the errand of the two whose wanderings and observations are recorded in this little volume. The journey was undertaken by Mr. James S. Sanborn, of the firm of Chase and Sanborn, of this city, in the interest of the coffee business of that firm. The author went, as narrated in the first chapter, to be a companion to her father, and, as far as a limited knowledge permitted, to speak the Spanish language. On our return' home, notes of our travels were published in the New England Grocer, for the interest of the trade.

Book Description
Excerpt from Narrative of a Journey to Guatemala, in Central America, in 1838 Having been honoured by the Government of the United States with a commission which required my proceeding to Guatemala, in Central America, I have been induced, since my return, to prepare the following little work, from an impression that a plain, unaffected narrative of a journey through a country rarely visited by travellers, and but little known, may not be uninteresting to an inquiring and enlightened public.
