Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Travels Through South American With the Children
During this tour Mr. Carpenter has kept the children always in mind, and his story of their travels will, it is believed, bring them into a close personal relation with their brothers and sisters of South Merica. It will give them also a live working knowledge of the geography, re sources, and people of each of the republics, and of the social, industrial, and commercial relations which each holds to the United States. The plan is the same as that adopted in all the books of this series. It consists of imaginary travels made by the children with the author in the countries described. In this volume the children start out on a voyage from New York to the Isthmus of Panama, and from there move about leisurely from one South American country to another, making their observations and studies along the lines above mentioned. It is the children who do the traveling, and the book is the story of what they see and learn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
