About this Item
1807 Helms Travels from Buenos Aires to Lima PERU Mining Venezuela MAP Voyages Anton Zacharias Helms was an 18th-century German mineralogist who was hired by the Spanish government to introduce methods of research and practice to Peruvian miners. At the end of the 18th-century, the Peruvian mining industry was in dire need of updating to modern technology and systems. While in Peru, Helms kept a journal, dialoging his teachings as well as noting the poor work conditions and struggles with local workers. His journal was first published in German in 1798. This abridged English edition also provides exceptional details on geology, Peruvian topography, and the influence of mining on commerce. Includes a folding map of Venezuela (Carraccas).
