Excerpt from The South Americans: The Story of the South American Republics Their Characteristics, Progress and Tendencies; With Special Reference to Their Commercial Relations With the United States The book has been written with a North American pen, but I have looked through South American eyes while writing it, and I think that twenty-five years of intimate association with Latin America, and extended residence there, as well as travel over much of those countries and other parts of the civilized world, give me authority to speak. If I can arouse sympathy for our neighbors, and appreciation for the senti ment and idealism which is as much alive in them as it is in us, I shall be content. Whatever repetitions may be noticed are intentional and serve to call attention to facts or conditions needing emphasis. I have purposely used the term Yankee it is a dignified word in both Spanish and Portuguese, and is the only single word exactly carrying the idea of a citizen of the English speaking republic of North America. It should not be offen sive to any one who happens to have been born in the New England States, or to any one who happens to have been born elsewhere. Particular attention has been given to the East Andean republics, because within their larger areas must take place the great industrial advances of the century, but the argument of the book applies to South America as a whole.
