Excerpt from Two on a Tour in South America T looks like South America this time - and in a hurry. What do you say about being ready to start in six weeks? Orange-blossom made this announcement just before Christmas - of all times. I gulped hard, sat up straight, and gasped, South America! But why'! Who under the sun buys books there? A kaleidoscopic array of monkeys, butter ies, orchids, yellow fever, revolutions and coffee chased madly through my brain - about my only associations with the other half of our continent.

Excerpt from To Hell and Back: My Trip to South America Ell has been glowingly described as a popular and populous place and since I had so Often been told to go there I bought a ticket for South America. Chicago was our first stop. The city divides honor With bean-eating Boston as a windy burg, puffing itself up with pride over What it should be most ashamed. The herd Of humanity rushes here like cattle to Armour's slaughter house, to become food for jails, hospitals, poorhouses, asylums and cemeteries. Shelley - said Hell was a city very much like London, but then he never saw Chicago. From what I saw and heard, If Christ came to Chicago he must have left on the next train.

Excerpt from The Collver Tours (Away-From-the-Usual) Of All South America To take a trip to Europe has become one of the commonplaces of life, Of late a visit to Japan and a tour around the world have become the mode and have seemed the ne plus ultra in travel. But all is not yet said. A few years more and the query will arise: Have you been to South America? Do not then feel content in the thought that you have seen the whole world, while one half of it, the Southern Hemisphere, is still unexplored! The Collver Tours Company, in Nineteen Hundred Five, announced the first tour of all South America ever planned by any travel agency and were thus the pioneers in this delightful and novel field for the pleasure seeker, which is now attracting very general attention amongst travelers of the advanced class, to whom this little book makes its appeal. Do you know that on the other side of the equator there is a city of a million inhabitants, which in appearance will bear comparison with the capitals of Europe and in some respects will surpass any of our own cities? That there are nations whose size, resources, and present development entitle them to the respect and attention of the whole world, that there is scenery more magnificent than any which this country or Europe affords and that there are comfortable, oft-times luxurious means of travel? Mr. John Barrett, formerly American minister to Argentina and Panama, and recently minister to Colombia, makes the following declaration: "I would that it were in my power to divert a small part of our travelers for pleasure and observation from Europe and Asia to South America, and particularly to Argentina, Chile, and southern Brazil. A diversion of study and investigation of this kind would exert a mighty influence in educating the North American people to a realization of the fact that we should devote more time and energy to making the intimate acquaintance of our Latin neighbors. It would demonstrate how ignorant many of us are of what Latin America can do and is doing under favorable conditions of temperate climate and national wealth. It might teach some critics of Spanish America to remove the 'beams' from their own eyes before they point out the 'motes' in those of their southern neighbors."

Excerpt from The South American Tour I congratulate Miss Annie S. Peck, the publisher of this book, and those who consult or read it, upon the preparation of a work of this character. Interest in Latin America is now so rapidly growing throughout all the world, and especially in the United States, that a descriptive guide-book of this kind regarding the regions commonly visited by tourists has become an actual need; such a work by Miss Peck is a practical and timely contribution to the literature of the day. There are few persons better qualified to write a book of this character. The remarkable explorations which Miss Peck has undertaken in the most difficult sections of Latin America, and the traveling she has done in all parts of it, not only have provided her with a vast fund of useful information about the countries of South America but give especial authority to what she writes. Her book contains in compact form an amount of definite information concerning the countries considered, which should place it in the forefront of works of this character. While, of course, it is impossible for the Pan American Union, as an official organization, and myself, as its official head, to endorse in any way a particular book or accept responsibility for the statements and views it contains, it gives me real pleasure, from a personal standpoint, to express the hope that this work of Miss Peck will have a wide circulation and prove of decided help in promoting travel to and through the Latin American countries. The Pan American Union, which, as readers of this book probably know, is the office of all the American republics - the United States and its twenty sister Latin American countries - organized and maintained by them for the purpose of developing commerce, friendship, better acquaintance, and peace among them all, is doing everything possible and legitimate to persuade the traveling public of the United States and Europe to visit the Latin American countries and become familiar with their progress and development.

Excerpt from Touring South America With the Gospel We have made no attempt to give the read er a historic or literary work; our purpose has been single; namely, a hope that we might, through these pages, give the reader some idea of the appalling needs and golden opportunities in South America. If this small book Touring South Ameri ca With The Gospel is successful on its mission in securing a life for South America and the support of a few workers, the au thor will be glad he wrote while traveling as deck passenger at times, in cheap hotels and cold rooms on other occasions. The book was written with a prayer and purpose, it is published and sent out with the same prayer and purpose.

Excerpt from South America They climb the Andes; they explore the highlands of Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, and steam over Lake Titicaca.

Returning through the Rio de la Plata, they make their way along the coast of Brazil to the mouth of the Ama zon. They explore the wilds of the great Amazon valley, and then go on into Venezuela to the Orinoco river, down which they sail into the Atlantic, and close their tour with travels in Dutch, French, and English Guiana.

Excerpt from Across Unknown South America, Vol. 1 of 2 South America is, to my mind, the Coming Conti nent -the Continent of the future. Everybody knows the wealth of the Argentine, Peru, Chile, and Bolivia; but the interior of Brazil, the largest and richest country of all, not unlike forbidden Tibet, was perhaps better known a century or two ago than now. Few people realize that Brazil is larger than the United States of North America, Germany, Portugal, and a few other countries taken together. The interior is practically a term incognita - although the ancient Jesuits and, at a later date, escaped slaves and native rubber collectors have perhaps found their way inland to a considerable distance.

Excerpt from South America: Observations and Impressions America from his own travels and studies, has given me valuable help in many ways. I have also to return my respectful thanks to the Governments of Chile and Brazil, who were good enough to extend to me facilities for travel on their railways, and to the Governments of Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Uruguay for other courtesies. To many states men and scholars in these six republics, too numerous to mention by name, as also to not a few of my own fellow-countrymen from Britain and Canada who are there settled, I am indebted for hospitality, for private acts of kindness, and for valuable information.
