adventurous challenging informative medium-paced
I enjoyed this travel journal by an Englishwoman in 19th century Chile. She happened to be in Chile to write about a major earthquake and a critical time of Chilean independence, as well as descriptions of flora, fauna, geography, housing, customs, and agriculture. I appreciated this early perspective one of the first professional female travel writers.
