Book Description
Excerpt from The Panama Gateway Failure to find the hidden strait did not Shake the faith of Columbus in its existence, and he died in 1506 as firmly convinced of its reality as he was igno rant oi the fact that he had discovered a new world. The contemporary explorers, whom his discoveries had inspired in England, Germany, and France, and who sailed across the Atlantic after him to the new lands, all shared his faith. They sought the hidden strait in eager rivalry and in complete ignorance that a new world had been found. Even when Vasco N ufiez de Balboa, his curiosity aroused by the talk of the native Indians about a mighty sea beyond the mountains, climbed the Cordilleras and discovered the Pacific, the truth was not suspected.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Hero of Panama: A Tale of the Great Canal Even a nigger would have been inclined to grumble. But the Chinamen aboard the tub seemed, if any thing, rather to enjoy this rocking. One of them stood almost amidships, his feet wide apart to pre serve his balance, while he gripped the handle of the pump he was working, and turned it over and over with a monotonous regularity that seemed to match with his surroundings. The man, who was barefooted, boasted of the very lightest of clothing, and wore his pigtail rolled in a coil at the back of his head. Other protection against the roasting sun he had none. Indeed, to look at him, he hardly seemed to need it, while the hot blast which came from the adjacent land passed over him without any apparent effect. Ching Hu was in his element.

Book Description
Excerpt from Five Years at Panama: The Trans-Isthmian Canal While there as the resident correspondent of The Gazette, I had to keep alive to all matters of interest to the general public. During my absences from the Isth mus I have received much reliable information relative to it and the Panama Canal, the greater part of it from official sources. This I believe justifies me in thinking that my book is brought down to date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The United States and the Panama Canal If constructed with the goodwill and guarantee of the great commercial nations, the canal cannot fail to become a blessing to the world's commerce and a great financial success. Most of the rapidly increasing trade between Europe and the Pacific shores, would prefer a passage - of at the most but two days' length - through the canal, assisted largely by the gulf stream, in employing that route and saving three thousand miles, to the tedious, stormy and dangerous rounding of Cape Hem. The yearly increasing trade of Japan and China with the East Coast of the Americas, with Cuba and the West Indies, as well as with a great portion of Europe, would largely patronize the canal, and the greater portion of the traffic between the Atlantic and Pacific shores in both Americas would find the Ist canal route advantageous above all others.
