Excerpt from Three Vassar Girls in South America: A Holiday Trip of Three College Girls Through the Southern Continent, Up the Amazon, Down the Madeira, Across the Andes, and Up the Pacific Coast to Panama
The author would acknowledge her obligation for much of the data used as background to this story to Mr. Herbert Smith, author of Brazil, the Amazons, and the Coast, and to the letters and lecture of her husband, as well as to the published books of Professors Orton, and Hartt, and Mrs. Agassiz, to the reports of Lieutenants Herndon and Gibbon, and to other standard works. The admirable illustrations, by Mr. Franz Keller, which form a prominent feature of the book, are reproduced from his excellent work, The Amazon and Madeira Rivers. L. W. C.
