In "Letters from the Battlefields of Paraguay," Richard Francis Burton, a renowned explorer and linguist, provides an evocative and firsthand account of the dramatic conflicts that swept through Paraguay in the late 19th century. Written in a vibrant and engaging prose style, Burton's letters capture the tumultuous spirit of war alongside intimate reflections on the cultural and social landscapes of the region. His observations illuminate not only the military strategies employed but also the profound human experiences amidst chaos, offering readers a rich textual tapestry woven with historical significance. Burton was not just an observer; he was a man of the world, deeply influenced by his extensive travels across continents and cultures. His experiences in Africa, the Middle East, and South America equipped him with a unique perspective on human nature and conflict. The depth of his understanding of different societies is evident in his sincere, nuanced portrayals of the Paraguayan people, their struggles, and the broader ramifications of colonialism and conflict in the region. This book is a poignant recommendation for those interested in military history, cultural studies, and Victorian literature. Burton's incisive observations and eloquent narratives invite readers to engage with history not as distant events, but as lived experiences resonating through time.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1870 edition. Excerpt: ... PREFACE. The principal object of these letters is to tell a new tale of modern Paraguay, to place before the public simple, unvarnished sketches and studies of what presented itself to one visiting the seat of a campaign which has, in this our day, brought death and desolation into the fair valleys of the Paraguay and the Uruguay Rivers. In no case, let me say, has distance better displayed its effects upon the European mind. Returned home, I found blankness of face whenever the word Paraguay (which they pronounced Paragay) was named, and a general confession of utter ignorance and hopeless lack of interest. Many in England have never heard of this Five Years' War which now appears to be an institution. Even upon the Parana River I met an intelligent skipper who only suspected a something bellicose amongst the "nebulous republics" because his charter-party alluded to a blockade. It speaks little for popular geography when we read year after year such headings as " Hostilities on the River Plate," whereas the campaign was never fought within 300 miles of the Rio de la Plata. The various conflicting accounts scattered abroad, with and without interest or obligation to scatter them, make the few home-stayers that care to peruse South American intelligence accept as authentic, and possibly act upon, such viridical information as that for instance supplied by the following clipping: -- Telegram received at the Brazilian Legation in London. The war is over. (No!) Lopez has either fled to Bolivia, (No!) or is concealed at Corrientes. (Impossible!) The execution of his brothers (P) Burgos (P) the bishop (P) and prisoners (P) is confirmed. (No!) The Paraguayan population was returning to Assumption (Never!) which has been occupied by the
