Carpenter's Geographical Reader: South America

by Frank G. CARPENTER (1855 - 1924)

In and about the Strait of Magellan

In this book the children are taken by the author upon a personally conducted tour through the most characteristic parts of the South American continent. The book will, it is believed, aid in putting flesh and blood on the bones of the geographies, and will give a living interest to geographical study. (from the Preface)
