About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Carpenter's geographical reader: South America by Frank G. Carpenter. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. In this book the children are taken by the author upon a personally conducted tour through the most characteristic parts of the South American continent. The book will, it is believed, aid in putting flesh and blood on the bones of the geographies, and will give a living interest to geographical study. (from the Preface)
