Additional Details

An essay by an American who spent two years travelling through Brazil for a coffee exporter. He also worked closely with immigrant laborers from Europe. Begins with the basic question, "How is it that with so fertile a soil, so fine a climate, with so much territory and so great an amount of mineral wealth, that Brazil has not grown more rapidly in population and political importance?"
