A Long Vacation In The Argentine Alps: Or Where To Settle In The River Plate States is a travelogue written by Henry Charles Ross Johnson and published in 1868. The book is a detailed account of Johnson's travels through the Argentine Alps, a region in the Andes mountains of South America. Johnson's purpose for writing the book was to provide information for those considering emigrating to the River Plate States, a region that includes Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay. He describes the climate, geography, and culture of the area, as well as the opportunities for agriculture, mining, and commerce. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of Johnson's journey, including his arrival in Buenos Aires, his travels through the mountains, and his observations on the people and customs of the region. Throughout the book, Johnson provides practical advice for prospective settlers, including recommendations for the best places to live and work, and tips for navigating the local bureaucracy. Overall, A Long Vacation In The Argentine Alps is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the experiences of 19th-century travelers and settlers in South America. It is also a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the River Plate States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
