Excerpt from The Five Republics of Central America: Their Political and Economic Development and Their Relations With the United States This volume by Dr. Dana G. Munro on the history and economic conditions of the five Central American Republics was undertaken for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace as one of a series of studies intended to present similar conditions in others of the Latin American Republics. The general purpose of the studies is to acquaint our own people with conditions as interpreted by a student and critic from among ourselves, in order that we may get a better and more sympathetic understanding of the ideals and conditions of life of our Central and South American neighbors. It is our hope also that such presentation may be helpful to the peoples of these countries themselves as a sympathetic attempt by friends to understand them and to let them see how things appear through the eyes of friendly outsiders. Dr. Munro's volume is the result of several months of study on the ground. He traveled by all the usual means of locomotion through the countries he describes, getting his information, as far as possible, at first hand. His account may be relied on as a correct presentation of the life of the people as seen by an outsider. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
