In 1804 when W. B. Stevenson (fl. 1803 1825) arrived on the small
island of Mocha, just off the coast of South America, he stepped
onto a continent on the brink of mass revolution. Over the next
twenty years, he had an extraordinary range of experiences: as a
traveller, a Spanish government official, a prisoner, and as
secretary to an ex-Royal Navy admiral turned revolutionary. In this
three-volume work, published in 1825, Stevenson gives a dramatic,
fascinating account of life and society in South America as it
began to break free from Spanish colonial rule. Volume 2 continues
Stevenson's description of the culture and customs of Chile,
Colombia and Peru. It also covers Stevenson's arrival in the
province of Esmeraldas, where he became governor in 1810.
