"Dr. Mozans writes English after our own style, and has a point of view half philosophical and half poetic. He is highly sensitive to the mystery of the dead civilizations of the Andean plateaux, as well as to the abounding life of the modern States, and the book generally is the pleasantest account of South America we have encountered for a considerable time."—The Standard, London, England.
"To read his book is not only to travel with him to strange places but also to be steeped in good literature."—The Record-Herald, Chicago, Ill.
"Great learning is often allied with great simplicity. It is so in the case of Dr. Mozans. He is bubbling over with information about the achievements of the Spanish conquistadores and the subsequent history of the lands over which they established their sway."—The Field, London, England.
"Whether Dr. Mozans' volume is resorted to for solid information or mere entertainment it will well repay the reading."—The New York Times.
"A book which every traveler to South America, especially every traveler to the west coast of the continent, will wish to have in his handbag."—Bulletin of the Pan-American Union.
"This is a delightful book from every standpoint."—Ex-President Roosevelt, in the Introduction to Dr. Mozans' book.
"Like the well-known works of Waterton and Humboldt on South America, the two books by Dr. Mozans are sure to have a permanent value and to be recognized as soon as known, as authorities on the countless subjects discussed in their illuminating pages with such fairness and scholarship."—The Freeman's Journal, New York City.
