"BRAZIL, THE RIVER PLATE, AND THE FALKLAND ISLANDS" by William Hadfield is a 19th-century travelogue recounting the author's adventures through South America, specifically Brazil, the Rio de la Plata area, and the Falkland Islands, to understand their environments, societies, and businesses. Beginning his travels in Liverpool, he sets sail to places like Lisbon, capturing his passage with descriptions of the ship, the beauty and culture surrounding him, and the way advances in steam navigation improved South American trade and communication with Europe. Through his personal encounters and observations, Hadfield tries to showcase the booming trade routes and opportunities for riches in South America during this time of colonization.
