Honduras, Descriptive, Historical, and Statistical (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Honduras, Descriptive, Historical, and Statistical
It is impossible to resist the conviction that the con trastin g conditions of these two great families were principally due to the equally contrasting physical con ditions of their respective countries. With the primi tive dwellers on the Atlantic declivity of Central America, no considerable advance, beyond the rudest habits of life, was possible. He was powerless against the exuberant vitality of savage nature, which even the civilised man, with all the appliances that intelligence has gradually called to his aid, is unable to subdue, and which still retains its ancient dominion over the broad alluvions both of Central and South America. His means of sustenance were too few and too precarious to admit of his making permanent establishments, which, in turn, would involve an adjustment of the relations of men and the organisation of society. He was therefore a hunter from necessity, nomadic in his habits, and obliged to dispute his life with men who, like himself, were scarcely less savage than the beasts of the forests.
