Abbot is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the history, significance, and the monumental engineering feat of the Panama Canal, which was hailed as one of the most ambitious projects undertaken in the modern era. The narrative explores not only the technical aspects of the canal's construction but also the rich and tumultuous history of Panama itself. The opening of the book introduces readers to the complex history of Panama, suggesting that the region has long been a battleground for both humans and nature. Abbot discusses the etymology of Panama, speculating on its meaning while referencing the area's historical conflicts, including wars and battles against tropical diseases. The introduction sets a tone of intrigue, highlighting the struggles faced in the construction of the canal and the societal changes it brought as the project neared completion.
