Publisher's Synopsis
Pioneering In The Pampas: Or The First Four Years Of A Settler�������s Experience In The La Plata Camps is a book written by Richard Arthur Seymour and first published in 1870. The book is a memoir of Seymour's experiences as a settler in the La Plata region of South America during the mid-19th century. Seymour begins his narrative by describing his journey from England to Argentina, where he and his family settled on a ranch in the Pampas, a vast plain region that spans across Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil. The book provides a detailed account of Seymour's struggles as a pioneer in a new and unfamiliar land, including his encounters with hostile indigenous tribes, harsh weather conditions, and the challenges of building a new home in a remote and isolated area.Throughout the book, Seymour provides a vivid description of the landscape and the people he encountered, including the gauchos, or cowboys, who were essential to the cattle industry in the region. He also discusses the social and economic conditions of the time, including the conflicts between the Argentine government and the indigenous people, as well as the impact of the American Civil War on the region's economy.Pioneering In The Pampas is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the experiences of early settlers in South America. Seymour's memoir is a testament to the courage and determination of those who braved the challenges of settling in a new and unfamiliar land, and it remains a fascinating and engaging read for anyone interested in the history of the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
