Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from A History of South America, 1854-1904

A residence of fourteen years in South America, in con nection with journalistic work throughout that continent, brought home to me the need of a concise history of the various South American States since they attained independence from Spanish control. True, such infor mation can be obtained from Spanish and Portuguese chroniclers and authors of other nationalities. But to seek for descriptions Of many different events and periods in diverse directions and varied tongues is always weari some and Often impossible unless a well-stocked library be near at hand for reference. To meet this want has been the purpose and aim of the present work, which although dealing more particularly with the past fifty years, is intended also for purposes of general reference by students of latin-american history and civilisation from the date of the emancipation of the Spanish colonies to the present day.
