About This Book

A firsthand presentation describes Chile as a long, narrow republic bounded by the Pacific and the Andes and organized into distinct climatic and economic zones: an arid mineral north, a semi-mountainous transitional belt, a fertile central agricultural region, and wooded southern coasts. It surveys natural resources and mining, especially nitrate and metals, and outlines agricultural patterns, railways, towns, colonization and population distribution. The author records observations of indigenous peoples, social habits, religion and superstitions, family life, education, legal institutions, crime and industrial interests, combining historical background with practical descriptions of institutions and everyday customs.
