Book Description
Excerpt from Across Central America N the following pages I wish to give the reader an insight to a country not often visited by travellers, and which on that account may perhaps afford some interest. I arrived at the port of San José de Guatemala from San Francisco in October, 1875, proceeded to the city of Guatemala, and after some interesting trips, east and west, continued my journey northward. A good road took me as far as Coban in Alta Vera Paz, then by an Indian path over the mountain ranges I reached the Rio de la Pasion, which enabled me by canoe to land within a few leagues of what has been called the mysterious Lake of Peten. From Peten a journey of six days through the forest brought me to the Village of Tenosique, situated on the Rio de la Pasion, which here assumes the name of Usumacinta; thence by canoe to the island of Carmen in the Gulf of Mexico. Of the wonderful ruins - evidences of ancient Indian civilization - which are so profusely scattered over this part of the continent I visited Quiche, Copan, and Palenque. These have been so ably dealt with both by pen and pencil by historians and explorers, that I have only ventured to give a general idea of them for the information of those who have not read the important works on Central America. If my readers only know as little of the subjects of this volume before taking it up as I did before I started on my journey, I trust they will in some measure be repaid by its perusal.

Excerpt from On Mule Back Through Central America: With the Gospel The days of miraculous achievements are not past, as the accounts chronicled in this book will testify.

They arrive in Nicaragua and preach to the natives, seeing numbers of them baptized in the Holy Spirit.

Book Description
Excerpt from Gypsying Through Central America: With Photographs by Norman Hartman My chronicle is the unvarnished account of our gypsying. In much briefer form it appeared serially in The Wide World Magazine last year, and some isolated incidents have been treated in short articles for various newspapers and magazines during the past fifteen months. That my Opinion of the natives of the Five Republics will be in part disagreed with by others who know these lands is undoubted. But the story of our experiences may throw additional light upon peoples and countries often treated as opem boufie.

Book Description
Excerpt from Central America, the West Indies and South America Data. In other respects the chief alterations introduced have been in reference to Natural History and the Geo graphical Relations of Emma and Floras. Wherever these important subjects were treated of by Von Bellwald, it appeared to the Editor that the facts and their applica tions were not given with the accuracy which is noticeable in other portions of his work, and it was found necessary, therefore, wholly to recast these sections. In doing this, however, nothing has been introduced but what is likely to be perfectly intelligible and interesting to the general.

Excerpt from Central America: And the Transit Between the Oceans But the discovery of California has now settled the ques tion of a profitable result; and, in a much shorter time than most persons in England are even yet prepared to expect, not merely a communication, but a choice of communica tions, is certain to be opened up. These will be respectively at Panama and Nicaragua; the former by railway and steam boat in the first instance, and ultimately by railway entirely the latter, chiefly by steam-boat in the first instance, and ulti mately by a complete canal both for steam-boats and sailing vessels.

Book Description
Excerpt from Wanderings in Some of the Western Republics of America: With Remarks Upon the Cutting of the Great Ship Canal Through Central America In this small work, I purpose to take my reader (if he will be kind enough to accompany me) from Chili to the interior of Central America; and I promise him, as far as lies in my power, to avoid any ground that has been so trodden before as to leave a broad, beaten trail. On our arrival in the dense forests of Central America, I will say Adios, ' and leave him to return home by any route he prefers, as I wish to meditate there a little on the possibility, practicability, and probability of a great Water Communication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans; but I trust he will remain with me and discuss the question.
