Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Manuel Estrada Cabrera's Place in History
Having traveled through the Republic of Guatemala from one end to the other, we have studied carefully and with an open mind the social and economic conditions and customs of the people, and are able impartially to refer to her past, describe the present and give a glimpse of her bright future.
Guatemala's geographical position is splendid; situated be tween the Pacific and the Atlantic her abundant rivers irri gate the fertile lands which, under the in?uence of salubrious climates - temperate in the Central and Northern territory and tropical in the South and along the coasts - are admirably adapted for the cultivation of the products of every zone of the world.
Rich in minerals of gold and silver, and until the present almost unexploited, her mines need only adequate development to extract those precious metals and bless the land with abundant wealth.
