Peck is a comprehensive guidebook written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the geographical, economic, and social aspects of South America, aiming to promote trade and understanding between the continent and the United States. Peck utilizes various authoritative sources, including governmental publications and insights from company officials, to document South America's industrial activities, resources, and potential for commercial relations. At the start of the book, Peck discusses the motivation behind creating this work, emphasizing the need for Americans to gain a deeper understanding of South America and its peoples, particularly in light of increasing commercial relationships. The introduction touches on the historical context of U.S. foreign trade and the importance of cultivating friendly relations with South American countries. The narrative then transitions into an examination of the continent's physical characteristics—its climate, geology, and geography—as a basis for understanding the diverse nations and their industrial potential. The opening suggests that pursuing closer ties with South America could lead to mutual benefits in trade and cultural exchange.
