Foot-loose bachelor, professor of botany, and licensed minister Isaac F. Holton traveled throughout Granada (now Columbia and Panama) from 1852-1854, and this is the best travel work on the area from that time, covering all aspects of life, description of the country, peoples, customs, nature, geography, homes, schools, churches, convents, government, politics, economics, flora, and even Bonsai collection. From Barranquilla and Cartagena he went up the Magdalena via Honda to Bogota. He later travelled to Ibaque, Cartago, Buga, Palmira, and Cali. It is a long and comprehensive book, insightful and frequently humorous, with most emphasis on what he saw, rather than on botany. An abbreviated second edition (1967) cut the text to less than half its length and omits the 11 appendices. For scholarly use this original edition is essential.
