Sinossi
Excerpt from Accounts Rendered of Work Done and Things Seen
In the end of the year 1885 I went to Buenos Aires and remained there for some months. It was at that date an Old Spanish city, consisting Of houses Of one storey, enclosing patios and gardens exactly as they had been built since the earliest days Of the Spanish colonis anon.
A few local railways connected the capital with towns in the Province Of Buenos Aires. In the early part of 1886 the first railway across the Pampa was completed to the city Of Mendoza, at the foot of the Cordillera, and I travelled over it to Mendoza a few days after it was Opened.
Having remained some weeks in that city, I crossed the Andes to Chili, as it had been crossed from time immemorial, on mule-back. The ride occupied five days; but no other five days of my life have been so well filled. From start to finish they were crowded with revelations of new experience, new incident, new accident; fatiguing they were, it is true, but worth it all and many times more.
