Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Explorations and Adventures in Honduras: Comprising Sketches of Travel in the Gold Regions of Olancho, and a Review of the History and General Resources of Central America; With Original Maps, and Numerous Illustrations
The journey of which the following pages form a diary, afterward somewhat elaborated by facts collected in Honduras, was conceived in California in 1853, and based upon reliable information, which since 1851 had been placed at my disposal, regarding the gold regions of Central America. Its principal Object was a reconnoissance of that part of the republic of Hon duras known as Olancho, which in 1850 had been visited by a gentleman now residing in New York, and by him, on his re turn, represented to be another California, equaling the new El Dorado in auriferous deposits, and excelling it in, position and accessibility.
