"South America" by Gardiner G. Hubbard is an annual address presented to the National Geographic Society in the late 19th century. This publication falls under the category of a geographical and historical account, exploring the diverse features of South America, including its geography, cultures, and natural resources. The address seeks to highlight the significance of South America in the context of its relationship with North America and the broader world at the time. In his address, Hubbard examines various aspects of South America, including its prominent mountain ranges like the Andes, major rivers such as the Amazon and Orinoco, and diverse ecosystems. He discusses the significant historical and cultural elements, such as the civilizations of the Incas and the cultural rich tapestry of Indigenous populations. Through extensive descriptions, Hubbard paints a complex picture of the continent’s geography, wildlife, and the intricacies of natural resource management, while also addressing the socio-political dynamics, including the influence of European colonization. The address serves not only as a geographical exploration but also reflects on the challenges and potential of South America in the context of its relationship with other continents.
