Equatorial America is a travelogue written by Maturin Murray Ballou in 1892. The book recounts the author's experiences during a visit to several destinations in the Caribbean and South America. The journey begins with a visit to St. Thomas, an island in the US Virgin Islands, where Ballou describes the island's history, culture, and natural beauty. He then travels to Martinique, a French island in the Caribbean, where he explores the island's architecture, cuisine, and social customs.The book also covers Ballou's visit to Barbados, a former British colony known for its sugarcane plantations and stunning beaches. He describes the island's vibrant culture, music, and dance, as well as its colonial past. The second half of the book focuses on the author's travels to the principal capitals of South America, including Caracas, Quito, Lima, and Buenos Aires. Throughout the book, Ballou provides detailed descriptions of the people, landscapes, and cultures he encounters. He also reflects on the historical and political context of the places he visits, offering insights into the social and economic conditions of the region. With its vivid descriptions and engaging narrative, Equatorial America is a fascinating account of travel and exploration in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
