3.5 stars. This is an interesting read, without too much history-info-dump, and some excitement. I really like the Amazon journey with the Indians. There are few mentions of drinking.

A Favourite Quote: “‘I came out here full of enthusiasm, and eager to bear a part in putting down the rebellion of Chili. Now I feel that Chili was more than justified, and that ere long we shall lose all the possessions that the swords of our ancestors won for us, and which were regarded with so much natural pride by Spaniards; and the worst of it is, that it is the outcome of our own work, our own oppression and misgovernment.’”
A Favourite Humorous Quote: “‘I at once accepted, but have been detained in England upwards of a year trying to get the war-steamer that we have been building completed. At last the Chilians have concluded that as they cannot get the steamer they may as well get me, and so you see I am on my way out.’”
