Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spanish-American Republics The reader will find in the following pages a plain narrative of observa tion and travel in the more accessible parts of the five important republics of Spanish South America, Chili, Peru, the Argentine, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The writer neither encountered nor sought adventures; his object was not to explore unknown territory, but rather to examine the actual state of the town and country populations in the year 1890; to study the commercial and social life of the capitals and ports; to see how people live and labor in the rural dis tricts; to give an account of the various special industries; to describe the real aspect of the countries in question; to note the characteristic features of the inhabitants; and, in short, to make a modern report of the progress of civiliza tion south of the equator.

This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rise of the Spanish-American Republics as Told in the Lives of Their Liberators To me a significant figure was Francisco de Miranda, often styled the great precursor of the spanish-american revolution. In Mexico there were two personages of paramount importance Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the father of Mexican independence, and Agustin de Iturbide, who should be styled the liberator of Mexico. In southern South America, the career of Mariano Moreno, the democrat and scholar, furnished an introduction to the troubled politics of the viceroyalty of la Plata. The struggle for Argentine independence was logically continued in the life story of Jose de San Martin, a founder of Argentina, Chile, and Peru. And the fight for the establishment of Peruvian inde pendence was ultimately crowned with success largely through the achievements of two Venezuelans, Simon de Bolivar and Antonio Jose de Sucre, who, after their native state had been liberated from the Spanish yoke, cooperated in the founding of independent republics in Peru and Bolivia. There were some queries which arose in my mind regarding the exact order in which the lives of these so-called liberators should be presented to the reader. Should the order be topical, or chronological, or geographical? At last, I decided upon a sequence which, with advantages that seemed to outweigh its disadvantages, in reality constituted a compromise: a sequence which began with the great precursor and permitted me to consider consecutively the two most important leaders of Mexico, - a sequence which made it possible for me to treat successively four great personages of the south-american revolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Spanish-American Literature It is only the other day that cultured men in the Spanish motherland began to manifest any real interest in the literature of their one-time colonies in the Western World. Hardly at all before Juan Valera, the charming novelist and discerning critic, wrote his gossipy American Letters, (1888-1890) did well trained men and much less, of course, the ordinary reader in the Iberian peninsula realize the ambitious activity of the many writers of the 19th century, scattered throughout the countries lying between the southern bounds of the United States and Tierra del Fuego; and not until Menendez y Pelayo prepared for the Spanish Academy his Anthology of Spanish-American Poets (1893-95) was there any considerable knowledge in Spain of the great output of Spanish verse in the New World from the period of settlement down to our own times. Genial spirit though he was, Valera was unable to avoid a certain display of that condescending tolerance of the European critic for the products of the colonial mind which we in the United States have been so accustomed to find in the attitude of the British critics and essayist toward our own belles lettres.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Complete History of the Spanish-American War of 1898 It has been said that no countrys public policy is actuated by unselfishness or the( dictates of humanity. To a certain extent 1;-this is true, since mutual jealousy and dis trust among nations render such a course difficult and well-nigh impossible. But the United States, which struck the blow for liberty in 1776, and for unity in 1861, next smote in the sacred name of humanity. The cries of the dead and dying on her doorsteps fell no longer on deaf ears. Disavowing all intention of adding the island of Cuba to our domain, we made war upon the wickedest nation that claims to be civilized, and we waged it in behalf of a weak but gallant people who needed our 1 help. Not since the world began has a more righteous war been prosecuted bravely to a Jtriumphant conclusion. It is important that all the features of this struggle should be understood.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Spanish-American War of 1898 Much has been published on the brief but in teresting and very important war of 1898 between the United States and Spain; but practically every thing that has appeared belongs to one of two classes. On the one hand, there are the narratives of sailors, soldiers, and correspondents who took part in it, and who describe what they saw. These books are not history, though many of them are excellent ma terial for history. On the other hand, there are records of a more general character, most of which are hasty compilations of little value. The con temporary accounts oi the war were very inaccurate and imperfect; it was not until some time later that there was a sufficient body of trustworthy evidence to make it possible to write anything like a real history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary History of Spanish America Latin America and the United States resemble two neighbors who have long lived side by side, each too busy with private matters to take more than an indifferent if not hostile interest in the other. Recently we North Americans have been taking a broader interest in our neighbors. The building of the Panama Canal has directed our attention to the south. We have discovered that those vast unknown regions are inhabited by human beings worthy of being better known though their character differ widely from our own. So great is our lack of acquaintance with our southern neighbors that few can say with ex-President Taft: - "I know the attractiveness of the Spanish American; I know his highborn courtesy; I know his love of art, his poet nature, his response to generous treatment, and I know how easily he misunderstands the thoughtless bluntness of an Anglo-Saxon diplomacy, and the too frequent lack of regard for the feelings of others that we have inherited." (The Independent, Dec. 18, 1913.) What ex-President Taft thus writes from personal experience, it is possible for others to learn by reading the books written by Spanish Americans. The main characteristics and trend of the Spanish-American mind are revealed in his literature. But shall we call Spanish-American writings literature?
