Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lower South in American History Utmost it can accomplish is to sketch what now I cannot paint; to give an earnest of what waits on circumstance. For my true task, like many another task of many another man, must wait for better days: for days of confident mornings and calm evenings. Such his days and nights must be, and firm his will must be, his mind at peace, his silence undistracted, who would enter into the body of this civilization which I have tried to inti mate with outlines, and make it live again through these and other of its times and seasons, he also living in it, and dying in it, and rising in it again. For that, and nothing less, is the demand it makes of its historian. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South Americans The general advance of the Continent, rapid in itself, has SO far followed to a large extent the line of least resistance. Although this line has passed through such wealthy territories, this Circumstance, it must be admitted, was more by good luck than by good management. Both colonists and capitalists have, naturally enough, dealt first of all with that which came most easily to their hand. It is true that, notwithstanding this, numerous engineering feats and other industrial triumphs Of the kind may be pointed to. The harnessing by the iron rail Of the Andes at SO rapidly growing a number of points counts among the many achievements Of which any Continent might be proud. Nevertheless, the main tides of progress have so far been most evident in the plains and along the great river systems Of South America. The turn Of the mountains to be dealt with in something approaching a comprehensive fashion is now at hand, and in the Opinion Of various experts the. Wealth that has already been extracted from the soil of the Continent represents but an insignificant proportion of that which lies undiscovered within its remoter fastnesses. The romance of industry has probably nothing to Show comparable with that worked out in the Americas. SO far as the original enterprise on the part of white men was concerned, the field was virgin, and the aboriginals as new, and almost as strange, as beings from another planet. But for the efforts of the Incas and the Aztecs, all that has been produced in both the Americas has been the work of the races Of Europe and of their progeny, the present-day Americans.

Download or read book Under the Southern Cross in South America Classic Reprint written by Williamson Buckman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under the Southern Cross in South America Until comparatively recent times - only a few years back - South America was regarded by the great majority outside its confines as the least known and, therefore, least understood part of the world; and North Americans looked upon it as the part from which least might be expected as far as their own interests were concerned. Journalists and newspaper men were accustomed to picture it as a mysterious land whose chief productions were deadly fevers and frequent insurrections. Indeed, in most cases, when the press mentioned it the purpose was only to chronicle some sanguinary revolution or outburst of border warfare. Several reasons contributed to keep South America in the background and leave it an unappreciated and neglected continent. In the first place its situation was against its becoming more familiar to northern lands. It stretches to the Far South, entirely away from the usual lines of travel and the beaten paths of the ordinary tourist. Few Americans have inclination or time to make personal acquaintance with the peoples and countries below the northern rim of the earth, where the Southern Cross shimmers overhead and where Christmas comes in the heat of summer and July the Fourth occurs in the middle of winter. In the next place our Monroe Doctrine kept foreign hands off this section of the Western Hemisphere; it prevented the European Powers from making it a battle-ground for the acquisition of new territory; hence, no diplomatic problems presented themselves for solution to bring the country to public attention, - it was kept isolated, as it were, from foreign entanglements, a good thing in one way, but harmful in another, as relegating it to its own obscurity. In the third place the ephemeral revolutions did not jeopardize in general the lives or property of foreigners, and consequently, our State Department was not called upon to interfere in the settlement of domestic or foreign claims; it is only very lately that its aid has been invoked in this respect.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from South American Historical Documents Relating Chiefly to the Period of Revolution: From the Collection of George M. Corbacho In these days of rapid change, when old empires fall and new nations rise within a period of less than five years, it is hard to believe that Spain once ruled in America for three hundred. She held dominion then over the greatest realm that the world had ever known. At the time that our own country achieved its independence Spain was sovereign in a region that stretched from northwestern North America to the Straits of Magellan. Most of what is now the United States formed part of it. And, though her political sway has vanished long since, eighteen republics perpetuate her civilization. Nine of them, covering an area nearly a third again as large as the whole of the United States, are in South America alone.

Download or read book The South Americans written by Albert Hale and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South Americans: The Story of the South American Republics Their Characteristics, Progress and Tendencies; With Special Reference to Their Commercial Relations With the United States The book has been written with a North American pen, but I have looked through South American eyes while writing it, and I think that twenty-five years of intimate association with Latin America, and extended residence there, as well as travel over much of those countries and other parts of the civilized world, give me authority to speak. If I can arouse sympathy for our neighbors, and appreciation for the senti ment and idealism which is as much alive in them as it is in us, I shall be content. Whatever repetitions may be noticed are intentional and serve to call attention to facts or conditions needing emphasis. I have purposely used the term Yankee it is a dignified word in both Spanish and Portuguese, and is the only single word exactly carrying the idea of a citizen of the English speaking republic of North America. It should not be offen sive to any one who happens to have been born in the New England States, or to any one who happens to have been born elsewhere. Particular attention has been given to the East Andean republics, because within their larger areas must take place the great industrial advances of the century, but the argument of the book applies to South America as a whole.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Voice From South America First then, with respect to education, - and I would here premise, that it would be as unfair, as it would be unwise, to compare the progress of the countries we are Speaking of, with that of any of the settled States of Europe or North America. The circum stances Of South America are peculiar she has had much to struggle against. During the dominion Of Spain, which continued for about three centuries, no encouragement was given to the Creole population, to make any advances in mental improvement, in consequence of the monopolies and reservations in favour of her European subjects. NO sooner was the colossal power of Spaininthe Indies shaken to its centre, than a host of sovereign states emerged from the wreck. Private jealousies, and public feuds, like rank weeds in a neglected soil, were immediately engendered, and it has too tre quently happened that, instead of mutually assisting each other, when that friendly aid was most needed.

This book was released on 2019-01-05 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of South America and Mexico, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising Their Discovery, Geography, Politics, Commerce and Revolutions; To Which Is Annexed, a Geographical and Historical View of Texas The English colonists in North America, consisting of the per scented athome, brought with them, to a considerable extent, the elements of freedom; and many Of the colonies Obtained charters securing the essential rights of self-government, and the enjoy ment 0 civil liberty; so that at a very early period, many scat tering rays of light were shed abroad in this western hemisphere, which served as the dawn of that brighter day of libert which we now behold in its meridian splendour. Although the nglish and Spanish systems Of colonial government in America were difl'er out, yet the views and policy of the two countries were essen tinlly the same, and tended to the same result. This policy was to keep the colonies, not only dependent, but tributary states; to monopolize their commerce, to cripple their manufactures, and in all respects to render them contributary to the wealth and aggran dizement of the colonizing country. In both divisions of the American continent this policy was more rigorously pursued as the colonies became more populous and wealthy, and as a jea lousy and apprehension of their independence increased. This illiberal policy necessaril led to a separation, and has resulted in the independence and om of the greater part of America.

This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South American Republics, Vol. 10 Great care is taken that the pupils in our public schools shall be well grounded in all that pertains to their own country, yet it is none the less a fact that a large majority of those pupils know almost nothing of the sister republics which lie in the southern half of our American continent. The average boy or girl in these United States knows far more of London, Paris, or Berlin than of Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, or Valparaiso; far more of peoples on the banks of the Rhine, the Volga, and the Danube than of those who dwell in the valleys of the Amazon, the Orinoco, and the Rio de La Plata; and far more of the manners, customs, superstitions, and modes of life of the in habitants of India, China, and Japan than of those of Argentina, Colombia, and Brazil. This ought not to be; and the one underlying pur pose oi this volume is to Open to the view of our older boys and girls the charm of mystery and the wealth of life hidden away in the depths of the ten interesting countries which lie almost at our doors, and whose several governments have been so largely modeled and patterned after our own.

Download or read book A People s History of the United States written by Howard Zinn and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2003-02-04 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.
