Book Synopsis Pennsylvania's Amazon Princess Railroad by : William Lawrence Adams
Download or read book Pennsylvania's Amazon Princess Railroad written by William Lawrence Adams and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Republic of Bolivia, as it existed prior to the termination of the war with Chile in 1882, had an area of 597,271 square miles, exclusive of the territory of El Chaco, claimed alike by Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina. The population, though never carefully determined, was estimated by the best Bolivian authorities as two and a half million, and of this, about half consisted of savage and domesticated Indians. In other words, a population about equal to that of the State of Massachusetts occupied a territory three and a half times greater in area than that covered by our ten New England and Middle States combined. During the colonial days of South America, Bolivia was a part of Peru, having been subdued and annexed by Hernando, a brother of Francisco Pizarro, and in 1559, it was formed into the Audiencia of Charcas, or Upper Peru. "The haughtiest of all the old Spanish Conquistadores," says a prominent writer, "settled in the country and clustered their titled families around its ten thousand open silver-mines." slogan: Keep Faith in Self and, Have Fun Trying W.

Book Synopsis English and Irish Settlement on the River Amazon, 1550–1646 by : Joyce Lorimer
Download or read book English and Irish Settlement on the River Amazon, 1550–1646 written by Joyce Lorimer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From as early as the middle of the 16th century Englishmen were interested in the possibility of exploring the fabled resources of the great river of the Amazons. During the first half of the 17th century English and Irish projectors made persistent efforts to maintain trading factories and plantation there. From at least 1612 to 1632 they inhabited settlements along the north channel of the estuary from Cabo do Norte to the Equator, making very considerable profits from tobacco, dyes and hardwoods. The profitability of their holdings was such that, when the Portuguese made the river too risky for foreign interlopers after 1630, former English and Irish planters sought to return there under licence of first the Spanish and then the Portuguese crown. The Irish may actually have been permitted to do so in the mid-1640s. Almost half a century has elapsed since J.A. Williamson and Aubrey Gwynne first published studies of these colonies. New material from English, Portuguese and Spanish archives has now made it possible to re-evaluate their significance. The Irish ventures, although begun in partnership with the English, can now be seen to have developed into a quite distinct initiative. They are probably the earliest example of independent Irish colonial projects in the New World. By the early 1620s the Irish were known for their experience of the river and their expertise in Indian languages, proving far more efficient in their approach to exploiting Amazonia than the English. The tenacity with which both groups, the English and the Irish, pursued their goal of settlement also forces us to re-assess assumptions about the seemingly 'inevitable' priority of North America for such activity in this period. The Amazon undertakings were in many ways more hopeful than contemporaneous enterprises in North America. They failed because their interests were sacrificed, at critical junctures, to the foreign policy priorities of the English crown, not because the Amazon was an unsuitable environment for northern Europeans.

Download or read book Running the Amazon written by Joe Kane and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-12-14 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The voyage began in the lunar terrain of the Peruvian Andes, where coca leaf is the only remedy against altitude sickness. It continued down rapids so fierce they could swallow a raft in a split second. It ended six months and 4,200 miles later, where the Amazon runs gently into the Atlantic. Joe Kane's personal account of the first expedition to travel the entirety of the world's longest river is a riveting adventure in the tradition of Joseph Conrad, filled with death-defying encounters: with narco-traffickers and Sendero Luminoso guerrillas and nature at its most unforgiving. Not least of all, Running the Amazon shows a polyglot group of urbanized travelers confronting their wilder selves -- their fear and egotism, selflessness and courage.
Book Synopsis Notes of a Botanist on the Amazon & Andes by : Richard Spruce
Download or read book Notes of a Botanist on the Amazon & Andes written by Richard Spruce and published by . This book was released on 1908 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having previously embarked on a collecting expedition to the Pyrenees, backed by Sir William Hooker and George Bentham, the botanist Richard Spruce (1817-93) travelled in 1849 to South America, where he carried out unprecedented exploration among the diverse flora across the northern part of the continent. After his death, Spruce's writings on fifteen fruitful years of discovery were edited as a labour of love by fellow naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), whom Spruce had met in Santarém. This two-volume work, first published in 1908, includes many of the author's exquisite illustrations. Showing the determination to reach plants in almost inaccessible areas, Spruce collected hundreds of species, many with medicinal properties, notably the quinine-yielding cinchona tree, as well as the datura and coca plants. Volume 1 contains Wallace's biographical introduction and a list of Spruce's published works. The narrative includes discussion of Pará, Santarém, and the Negro and Orinoco rivers.
