In the Introduction he describes a recent rise in interest in South America: "Even touring agents and travelling people both commerical and otherwise are awakening to the fact that there are other Rivieras that the Patagonian channel rivals the Norse coast and that there is a charm of nature and newness in South America quite equalling in attractiveness the ancient monuments of Egypt. Nowhere are there wilder men than in the Amazon jungles; not even in the Himalayas are there more majestic peaks;.Africa presents no greater range for the botanist or zoologist and is not so accessible. If one seeks rest adventure or the exploitation of new regions he can find all in South America.
