A Journalist's South America
November 8, 1917 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "British Exploits in South America," by W.H. Koebel. One reason why so little is known of Latin America is that for centuries the policy of Spain was to prevent the outside world learning anything about her vast colonial empire. Trade secrets were jealously guarded; travellers of all sorts were discouraged; even intercourse between the Spanish colonists and Europe was held in check. The general results of this policy are apparent to this day, in the ignorance even of the well informed regarding the picturesque democracies of South America so radically different from those of English origin.
