Tom Vernon's travels took him across the South American pampa to the sierras of Cordoba, through Patagonia, the Andean north-west and the regions around Salta and Tucuman. His encounters with settlements of Old England, France and Italy, German survivors from the SS Graf Spee, Welsh-speaking immigrants, and Mapuche Indians illustrate the diversity of Argentina's culture, and show Tom Vernon to be a perceptive and witty raconteur.
