Excerpt from Working North From Patagonia Being the Narrative of a Journey, Earned on the Way, Through, Southern and Eastern South America Though it stands by itself as a single entity, the present volume is a continuation and the conclusion of a four-year journey through latin-america, and a companion - piece to my Vagabonding Down the Andes. The entrance of the United States into the World War made it impossible until the present time to continue that narrative from the point where the story above mentioned left it; but though several years have elapsed since the journey herein chronicled was made, the conditions encountered are, with minor exceptions, those which still prevail. South American society moves with far more inertia than our own, and while the war brought a certain new prosperity to parts of that continent and a tendency to become, by force of necessity, somewhat more self-supporting in industry and less dependent upon the outside world for most manufactured neces sities, the countries herein visited remain for the most part what they were when the journey was made.
