"South America" by Gardiner G. Hubbard is a speech given to the National Geographic Society in the 1800s that explores the continent's varied geography, peoples, and resources, and how South America fits into the world with North America. Hubbard talks about South America's mountains like the Andes, its big rivers like the Amazon, and its different environments, describes the Inca civilization and Indigenous cultures, and uses these details to illustrate the continent's wildlife, natural resources, and the effects of European colonization. The speech is both a look at South America's lands and a reflection on its problems and possibilities related to other continents.
