Oil fields, the Andes, and the Caribbean coast, captured in a 1959 guide to South America's northern edge.
Written by Dr. Raymond E. Crist, this booklet is part of the American Geographical Society's Around the World series. Founded in 1851, the Society is the oldest nationwide geographical organization in the U.S., and its travel booklets were designed to expand geographical knowledge for policymakers and curious readers alike — a charming look at how a country looked over sixty-five years ago.
A meaningful gift for a teacher, world historian, or travel book collector building out the full Around the World series.
