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 the life and culture of South America as it
began to break free from Spanish colonial rule. Volume 1 focuses on
Stevenson's arrival in 1804, his initial impressions, and travels
in Chile, Colombia and Peru. It describes food and drink, society
and culture, administration and climate. It also covers his
imprisonment in Lima by the Spanish authorities.
