Download or read book The Republic of Costa Rica Classic Reprint written by Joaquin Bernardo Calvo and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Republic of Costa Rica The task of translating any work, however interesting the original, must always be found more or less tedious. Just when the pen would run on most steadily, and when the brain is most absorbed with the subject, one is apt to arrive at some expression, the rendering of which into another and perhaps less graceful language, without reducing it to bald ugliness, is so difficult as to tempt one to forego it. Senor Calvo's book is, however, a work so rich in information, so admirably compact, and withal so well adapted to supply practical knowledge, that I have found little to abridge or dispense with. It is a book for all who would know something of Costa Rica; for the capitalist or speculator interested in mining, manufacturing, or agricultural enterprises; for the less fortunate who seek to build themselves up fortunes remote from the pitiless pressure and selfishness of great Northern cities; for the traveler who would view new sights; the pleasure seeker tired of beaten tracks; the sportsman wishing to surprise himself and his friends, and for the invalid whose days are shadowed by merciless disease.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Discovery and Conquest of Costa Rica Into this maze Of documentation Sefior Fer nandez Guardia has frequently ventured on the occasions Of his visits to Spain, and with notable success. He has made himself familiar with the contents of many a long-hidden bundle, and has brought to light in the present volume an array Of facts and an ensemble of personalities which merited a much earlier presentation to the world. From the same source his father before him, Don Leen Fernandez, the grand Old man Of Costa Rican letters, and the brilliant diplomatist, Don Manuel M. De Peralta, have culled the great collections of documents published under their names, and, parenthetically, it is gratifying to learn that the King, Don Alfonso XIII., Whose liberal and progressive tendencies are well known, shows a lively interest in bringing to a conclusion the task, undertaken some years ago, Of unearthing and systematizing these early rec ords - a task in which Spain is collaborating with the spanish-american republics.

Download or read book On the Indian Tribes and Languages of Costa Rica Classic Reprint written by William M. Gabb and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Indian Tribes and Languages of Costa Rica Of half a dozen persons with whom I have conversed people who have been on the upper Rio Frio, all, with one exception, distinctly assert that they have seen people of light color and with comparatively light hair among them. One person went so far as to assert, that in a fracas in which be nearly lost his life, his most valiant and dangerous Opponent was a young woman, a mere girl, as white as an Englishwoman, (tan rubia como una Inglesa). Another, who had a more peaceful Opportunity of seeing a party of two or three women, himself unseen, used the same words in describing one of them. I believe, however, that these were ex aggerations. Still another person told me that they were of all shades from a rather light Indian color, to nearly white, the same as our selves (referring to the varying shades in the mixed blood of the Costa Rican peasantry). However, in an interesting conversation with Don Tomas Guardia, President of Costa Rica, I learned that when, some years ago, he headed a party passing through their country for military purposes, they encountered one or more bodies of these people and had some skirmishes with them. He says they are ordinarily of the color of other Indians, although rare exceptions exist, of individuals markedly lighter than the others, and really possessing a comparatively white skin and brownish or reddish hair. This is in keeping with the statements made to me by others whom I consider reliable, and must, I think, in defer ence to the authors be taken as final. The origin of light complexions among an isolated tribe of Indians has, of course, been the source of much speculation, but General Guardia, and Don Rafael Acosta, an intelligent gentleman of San Ramon, not far from the borders of the Guatuso country, both suggested to me, independently, the same theory. They claim that when, a couple of centuries ago, the town of Esparza was sacked by the English freebooters, many of the in habitants took refuge in the mountains, and were never afterwards heard of. These refugees were many of them pure whites, men and women. New from Esparza, it is only about three or four days' journey to the borders of the Guatuso country, and it does not seem improbable that some of these poor wretches may have found their way there. If this is really the case, the admixture of blood, and consequent lightening of color is satisfactorily accounted for.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Costa Rica, the Gem of American Republics: The Land, Its Resources and Its People Spain, where the rate of foreign commerce is and respectively. The above figures clearly demon strate that the people are extremely active, and that the resources of the country are marvelous to permit them to accomplish so much, when they are in need of so many of the facilities possessed by older nations, such as scientific workmen, railroads, and improved machinery. These would perform in an hduf, the work that now takes the native of Costa Rica one or two days. The traveler will notice at once, the peculiar configuration of Costa Rica with its range of mountains, transversing the country in almost a southeasterly direction, rising abruptly from the level lands on the coast, and forming beautiful pla teaus and extensive valleys at different altitudes, which resem ble the terraces in a garden its large rivers, many of them navigable, and numberless other smaller streams that irrigate every foot of ground, and afford motive powers for all indus tries with abundance of excellent harbors on either ocean. All these circumstances explain perfectly the reason for finding in that country the most varied productions of both. The tropical and temperate zones, at such short distances that a man can, in one day, attend to his wheat field situated in the colder region of the plateau, give his instructions on a coffee plantation located in a warmer and lower position, descend still further to the sugar-cane fincas where he superintends the manufacture of hs sugar, and from thence proceed to hotter and lower lands to inspect the works of cacao gathering, banana planting, rubber culture or mahogany cutting. In this country, where no extremes of heat or cold exist, the most fanciful persons may, in only a few minutes, remove their headquarters to any temperature ranging between 55 and and Whatever locality be their choice, they will always find that the temperature selected will remain almost unchanged through out the length of their visits, though extended for a year.
