About this book
Along the 73rd meridian, from the tropical plains of the lower Urubamba over high snow-covered passes to the desert coast at Camaná, Isaiah Bowman records the geographic work of the Yale Peruvian Expedition of 1911. His division mapped a two-hundred-mile stretch of mountain country between Abancay and the Pacific, with survey stations reaching nearly 18,000 feet. The book looks at how climate and land shape life over short distances, and at differences in customs between neighbouring groups of people. Bowman was director of the American Geographical Society, for which the volume was issued in 1916.
