"Guatemala: The Land of the Quetzal" by William Tufts Brigham is a geographical and cultural exploration written in the late 19th century. In this work, the author provides insights from his travels in Guatemala and Honduras, aiming to shed light on the rich history, geography, and natural beauty of Central America. The book is likely intended to incite interest in these often-overlooked areas among American travelers and merchants. The opening of the book establishes Brigham's intent to provide a guide through the complexities of traveling in Guatemala and to stimulate curiosity about its landscapes and cultural heritage. He reflects upon previous exploration challenges and the lack of proper resources available to travelers, expressing a desire to enhance knowledge and appreciation of Guatemala's diverse features. The narrative starts by discussing the geographical scope of Central America, delineating its boundaries and describing the region's mountains, rivers, and volcanic activity. Brigham sets the stage for a deeper inquiry into the political importance of this area and paints a vivid picture of its scenery, climate, and potential for commerce.
