Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Spanish America, Vol. 2: Its Romance, Reality and Future
A sea-wall of solid masonry, a rampart upon whose flat top we may walk at will, presents itself to the winds and spray. That blow in from the Gulf of Darien upon the ancient city of Cartagena, and the booming of the waves there, in times of storm, might be the echo of' the guns of Drake, for this rampart was raised: along the shore in those days when he and other famous sea rovers ranged the Spanish Main, over which Cartagena still looks out.
