The sixteenth-century Conquistadors, led by Pizarro, came to Peru for three reasons--God, gold, and glory, but after the initial glory of their conquest they tended to concentrate on gold, rather than God. Direct colonial rule by Spain lasted for almost three hundred years, only ending in 1826, when the last Spanish flag was hauled down from the battlements of Real Felipe Fortress. However, just a few short years after Peru had declared its independence from Spain, the attention of some people in Lima began to focus on a potential source of untold wealth that was to prove more precious than gold. This was guano which, in its greatest concentration, was found on the diminutive Chincha Islands that lie just off the Peruvian coast, some seventy miles south of Callao. This book covers the story of this international guano trade. It outlines the fate of the unfortunates recruited to cut and load the guano. It also gives full details of the hardships endured by mariners employed in this trade. The story of those who grew rich on the proceeds of this trade is also outlined. Importantly, it explains just how the Peruvian government mismanaged the trade, to the extent that Peru became burdened with debts, rather than prospering on the proceeds of their vast new guano-based income.

Excerpt from Guano: A Treatise on the History, Economy as a Manure, and Modes of Applying Peruvian Guano, in the Culture of the Various Crops of the Farm and the Garden It is the object of this Treatise to give a few practical sug gestions on the use of guano, and the results of actual trials under a great variety of circumstances and upon a great variety of crops and soils. Before entering upon more practical points, however, it will not be out of place to say a few words of the origin and history of this article. It is but little more than twenty years since the first cargo of guano left the coast of Peru to enter the ports of Great Britain as an article of commerce. The first consignment was made to a mercantile firm of Liverpool, Messrs. Myers Co. In 1835, but guano, being still unknown, excited little attention till five years later when twenty casks were again landed in England, and it was soon found to be the most valuable manure in exis tence. 80 great was the confidence immediately inspired in its value as a means of increasing the products and renovating the soil of the country, that the very next year, 1841, seven vessels were employed to convey 1733 tons from the Chincha Islands to England, and the number increased in 1842 to 41 British and 3 foreign vessels, and to 13094 tons.
