Summary "Through South America" by Harry Weston Van Dyke is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The work serves as an exploration of various South American countries, their histories, and cultural significance, offering readers insights into the landscapes and peoples of Latin America. It aims to cultivate a deeper appreciation for these nations, often overlooked in favor of more popular destinations. At the start of this travelogue, the introduction by John Barrett emphasizes the growing interest in Latin America, spurred by the impending completion of the Panama Canal, which is expected to boost commerce and travel between North and South America. Barrett reflects on the importance of understanding the rich histories and unique characteristics of the twenty republics that make up Latin America. The opening portion prepares the reader for a narrative that not only addresses travel ambitions but also highlights the economic and social developments of these countries, which were largely ignored by the wider public at the time.
