Synopsis

Excerpt from South America: A Supplementary Geography No part of the world is attracting more attention than is our sister continent - South America. Along all lines there are evidences of great progress. The Transandine Railroad now unites the Pacific and the Atlantic coasts. Vast sums of money have been used in improving harbor facilities. Sanitary science has made the tropical ports safe places for the white man. Social conditions have been greatly bettered, and educational systems are rapidly undergoing reorganization. The wonderful scenery and the interesting evidences of a vanished civilization found on the Andean plateaus are each year drawing to South America a large number of visitors. Commercially South America is a field of rapidly increasing importance. A very large part of the world's supply of coffee comes from the state of Sao Paulo in Brazil. The forests of the Amazon furnish vast supplies of rubber. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
