SHERWOOD, FREDERICK AUGUSTUS. Glimpses of South America. il *$4 Century 918
20–20207
The author knows South America well, as a business man having made several prolonged trips throughout its extent. He calls his book an informal one, covering the ground and containing information about that part of South America that a casual visitor would be most apt to visit and about which he would be less likely to get information from more formal treatises. It is compiled from notes jotted down for personal amusement and is illustrated with the author’s own photographs. It has six maps, a geographical and a general index and the text contains: The beaten track around South America; New York to Kingston and Panama; Panama and the Panama canal in war time; Down the west coast—Panama to Lima, Peru; Lima—the city of the past; Southern Peru and northern Chile; Iquique, Antofagasta and the nitrate desert; Valparaiso and Viña del Mar; Santiago—the capital of Chile; Over the Andes to the Argentine Republic; Buenos Aires—the Paris of America; Montevideo and the republic of Uruguay; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the way home.
