Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Central America and Its Problems: An Account of a Journey From the Rio Between the Mexican and the Panaman borders are five nations. New Orleans is nearer their farthest port than it is to New York. To the average American they form the fever-stricken playground of opéra bouffe revolutions. But how little he really knows of a region which lies at our very doors! It remains almost the last track unbeaten by tourist travel in the world, rich in resources, its Cordilleran highlands, with their climate of eternal spring, the natural home of a splendid civilization. With a broader view in mind than the humorous appreciation of armies with generals outnumbering privates or of recurring disorders which sporadically attract our attention, in the summer and autumn of 1908, at the request of Mr. McCormick, of the Chicago Tribune, I made a journey through Mexico, Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. As a journalist, he knew that people did not care to read about so troublesome a subject; but as our foreign policy is the result of public knowledge and opinion, it was at least a good thing, he thought, to give them the opportunity.
