About this Item

1834 AUTHOR SIGNED 1st/1st Three Years in Pacific US NAVY Voyages SOUTH AMERICA Three Years in the Pacific; Including Notices of Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, and Peru by William Samuel Waithman Ruschenberger provides his account of his experiences during two distinct voyages in the Pacific aboard the USS Brandywine and the USS Falmouth between the years 1826 to 1834. Ruschenberger shares his firsthand observations, aiming to enlighten readers about the unique attributes of countries in South America. He provides descriptions of his traversal into Brazil s landmarks and history as well as Chile s society and landscapes, Bolivia s local commerce and traditions, and finally his Peruvian journey from the shores of Callao Bay to the rich cultural tapestry of Lima. Detailed insights into regional politics, traditions, and commerce punctuate the narrative. The work concludes with reflections on the South-West coast, encapsulating the essence of the continent. Throughout, Ruschenberger describes a sailor s life at sea, capturing the awe inspired by ships and the sometimes-tumultuous relationship between man, vessel, and the unforgiving ocean.
