ResumoMR. STEPHEN GRAHAM travelled on the trail of the Spanish adventurers of old from Spain to the West Indies, through Porto Rico, Haiti, and Cuba, and then to New Mexico, Panama, and Mexico itself. The book is full of colour and high spirits, with just enough of history to allow the reader to understand present conditions. In its vivid description and sympathetic insight, the book gives a far truer picture of tropical America and its inhabitants than most larger and detailed works.. The author's reflections on present tendencies in Latin America add a practical value to a book that is full of charm.
