Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from La Plata Countries of South America When, in the beginning of the year 1880, I was preparing to go to the Argentine Republic, I was surprised to find how little I knew of that country, and how little with regard to the South American nations is available to the general reader. I was even more astonished on learning that to reach my proposed destination, a journey longer than to India lay before me; that there were only four routes by which the valley of the Rio de la Plata - the southern twin of the Mississippi Valley - could be reached from the United States. The first of these, by steamer from some Atlantic port of the United States to Europe, and thence to Montevideo. The second, from San Francisco down the west coast to Valparaiso; thence around Cape Horn to Montevideo and Buenos Ayres. (By this route the traveller gets one degree more of latitude than if he should start from the equator and land at the North Pole, and for good count, gets 21 1/2° over again.
