Uruguay

W. H. Koebel’s Uruguay is described as having a map and 55 illustrations. The contents give a chapter on The Uruguayan Campo listing, among others, formation of the land, a survey of the country, features of the soil, types of wild flowers, and the Uruguayan Gaucho. The contents give a chapter on estancia life listing, among others, the Banda Oriental as a pastoral rather than an agricultural land, and viticulture as an asset in Estancia affairs.

The text describes a company of deer feeding peacefully in the distance, intermingled with the bulky members of a herd of cattle. The text says the train has pulled up at Cardoso, the centre of a district that is considerably more populous than the majority, and that the place was once the site of a German colony. The text gives a hard-and-fast maxim that the traveller should wear no trace of red about his person. The text says one instance was provided by a mining engineer, who was appointed as manager to a goldmine in the far north of the Republic and happened to arrive, a stranger to the country, during the period of unrest in 1904.
