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.

"Peru in the Guano Age" is a book written by Alexander James Duffield. This book provides a historical account of Peru during the so-called "Guano Age," a period in the mid-19th century when Peru's economy was heavily dependent on the export of guano, a valuable fertilizer made from seabird excrement found on the country's coastal islands. During this era, guano became a valuable commodity in international trade, and Peru's economy experienced a boom due to guano exports. The book likely discusses the economic, social, and political aspects of this period, as well as the impact of guano mining on the environment and the broader historical context of Peru during the 19th century. The "Guano Age" is a significant and unique chapter in Peruvian history, and Duffield's work likely delves into the various aspects of this historical period.
