Book excerpt: This text describes the little-known history of the earliest example of American overseas expansion. Guano was the 19th century's most important fertilizer and in 1856 Congress, believing that American farmers were being gouged on guano sales by foreign monopolists, authorized US citizens to claim and exploit unowned guano-rich islands around the world. The legacy of this decision is a strange group of American appurtenances, ranging from Haiti to the central Pacific and with a highly diverse subsequent history, from the notorious near-slavery of guano-miners on Navassa Island to the contemporary issue of the Johnston Atoll chemical weapon destruction plant.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fisheries and the Guano Industry of Peru Dynamite must be mentioned as one of the common methods of fishing. This abuse is certainly working an incalculable damage, especially in certain regions. It is prohibited by the government, but the efforts to prevent its use have so far been ineffectual, and the practice is at present the most serious defect of the fishery.

Download or read book Guano and the Opening of the Pacific World written by Gregory T. Cushman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-25 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, bird guano has played a pivotal role in the agricultural and economic development of Latin America, East Asia and Oceania. As their populations ballooned during the Industrial Revolution, North American and European powers came to depend on this unique resource as well, helping them meet their ever-increasing farming needs. This book explores how the production and commodification of guano has shaped the modern Pacific Basin and the world's relationship to the region. Marrying traditional methods of historical analysis with a broad interdisciplinary approach, Gregory T. Cushman casts this once little-known commodity as an engine of Western industrialization, offering new insight into uniquely modern developments such as environmental consciousness and conservation movements; the ascendance of science, technology and expertise; international relations; and world war.
