From Wikipedia: Miguel María Grau Seminario was a renowned Peruvian naval officer and hero of the Naval Battle of Angamos during the War of the Pacific 1879-1884. He was known as the el Caballero de los Mares Spanish for "Gentleman of the Seas" for his chivalry and is esteemed by both Peruvians and Chileans. He is an iconic figure for the Peruvian Navy and one of the most famous merchant marine and naval military leaders of America. His mother Luisa Seminario y del Castillo motivated Grau to love the sea from his youth. He entered the Paita Nautical School. He first went to sea when he was nine years old going to Fortune Colombia aboard a merchant schooner. Grau later went on various merchant ships to ports in Oceania Asia America and Europe. In 1853 at the age of 19 he left the merchant marine and became an officer candidate of the Peruvian Navy where he developed an outstanding professional reputation. In 1854 he was Military officer of the steamer Rimac. His career was rapid and brilliant. In 1863 he was promoted a year later. In 1864 he was sent to Europe to oversee the construction of ships for the Peruvian fleet. Upon his return Chile and Peru joined together in a bi-national fleet against Spanish attempts to reclaim their American colonies. In 1868 he was recalled to the Navy and was named commander of the Huáscar with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. By June 1 1874 he became the commanding officer of the Peruvian Navy's fleet and later became a member of the Congress of the Republic of Peru as an elected congressman in 1876 representing Paita. the War of the Pacific against Chile began on 5 April 1879 Miguel Grau was aboard the Huáscar as its captain and the Commander of the Navy. Capitán Grau played an important role by interdicting Chilean lines of communication and supply damaging capturing or destroying several enemy vessels and bombarding port installations. Grau's Huáscar became famed for moving stealthily striking by surprise and then disappearing. These actions put off a Chilean invasion by sea for six months. At the Battle of Iquique after Huáscar sank the Chilean corvette Esmeralda by ramming her Grau ordered the rescue of the surviving crew from the waters. Grau also wrote condolences to the widow of his opponent Arturo Prat returning his sword and personal effects. At the port of Antofagasta after sneaking up on an enemy ship he courteously asked the crew to abandon ship before opening fire. These and other gestures earned him the nickname of el Caballero de los Mares "Gentleman of the Seas" from his Chilean opponents acknowledging an extraordinary sense of chivalry and his gentlemanly behavior combined with his highly-efficient and brave combat career. Almirante Grau was killed by an armor-piercing shell during the Naval Battle of Angamos on 8 October 1879. Huáscar was captured by the Chileans after incurring severe casualties in the close-range artillery duel. Although most of Grau's body was not recovered his remains were buried with military honours in Chile which were returned to Peru in 1958. For many years after his death his name was called in a ceremonial roll-call of the Peruvian Navy. His final resting place lies at the Escuela Militar Naval del Peru in El Callao in an underground mausoleum. He posthumously received the rank of Gran Almirante del Perú Grand Admiral of Peru in 1967 by order of the Peruvian Congress. A portrait of Almirante Grau is on display in the museum ship Huáscar. In the year 2000 Miguel Grau was recognized as the "Peruvian of the Millennium" by popular vote. Secretaría del Ministro de Marina hardcover

[Peru – Panama – Medicine] Burres, W TBiblio.com

Photographic Archive of a Californian Adventurer and Doctor in South America 1903-1918

1918List2982Peru and Panama 1918. Approximately 364 photos; album and unmounted photos silver prints cyanotypes and printing-out-paper prints. Photos measure 3 x 4 to 8 x 10 inches with about half measuring 3 x 5 Â½ inches. Some with photographerâ€™s hand-stamp or credit in pencil; others with manuscript notations verso or recto; some captions to album pages. Offered in partnership with Daniel / Oliver. Rich and extensive photographic archive of Walton T. Burres of Stockton California showing his time in Peru c. 1904 as an amateur explorer and doctor for the Inca Mining and Rubber Company and his later work in Panama c. 1918 with the Rockefeller Foundationâ€™s International Health Division.The collection consists of a large number of loose photos acquired by the gallery in 2021 and a recently discovered photo album showing some of the same subjects and containing a few duplicate images some printed in different sizes or formats as well as hundreds of previously unseen prints. Together this material makes up the largest extant archive of Burresâ€™s photographic work. Though his work was published at the time both in Peruvian and American publications much of it was lost when he dropped it in a river that he was attempting to ford. Burres was educated at Californiaâ€™s Cooper Medical College the first school of medicine on the West Coast and was a prominent member of the Stockton community before sojourning to Peru around 1900 to help the Inca Mining and Rubber Company address the deadly diseases endemic to the region such as malaria and yellow fever. To encourage economic infrastructure in remote areas the Peruvian government began granting land concessions to any company that would build roads bridges or river ports. As a result the Inca Mining Company an American outfit based in Tirapata purchased the rights to mine gold along the upper Inambari River in 1896 and soon became the richest gold producer in Peru. A large portion of Burresâ€™s Peruvian images document his 1903â€“1904 excursion from Arequipa 150 miles into â€œrubber country.â€ The journeys were well-recounted in U.S. papers and a number of the anecdotes described in print are seen in the present images. There are many dynamic views of Burres and his party trekking through the dense jungle and summiting the high mountains as well as shots of flora fauna and native Peruvians. Burresâ€™s travel companions for this trip included the famed adventurer Harriet Chalmers Adams later dubbed â€œAmericaâ€™s greatest woman explorerâ€ by the New York Times. Adams and her husband Frank both fellow Stocktonians joined up with Burres during their own multi-year expedition through South America. There are a number of portraits of a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Adams though it is possibly another person. Other Peruvian material includes numerous views of Cusco Arequipa and the surrounding environs including a beautiful interior of a chapel a Martin Chambi-esque detail shot of a stone wall and portraits of local townspeople some identified as Quechua people. There are a number of lush large-format cyanotypes rich printing-out-paper views and many handsome small-format panoramas. These were printed on Inca Mining Company surplus stationary which speaks to the makeshift nature of photo-development under the circumstances. One particularly striking image shows the top of Misti volcano barely visible above the clouds. This image was reproduced in Burres's account of his travels published in 1909 in Outing magazine. The photographs from Burresâ€™s time in Panama document his more serious work as a virologist and health administrator in the area. One interesting photo shows a pair of recently-shot iguanas with a caption noting that â€œblood of these reptiles was found infected with Haemogregarina.â€ Another image is that of a new style of privy built from concrete and wire-mesh designed to better keep out rain water. There are also keenly-shot views of main streets and local culture in Los Santos ChiriquÃ and elsewhere including a number of humanistic group portraits taken at a girlâ€™s school. unknown
