Softcover. Etat : Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. The Forgotten Colony traces the complex and interesting history of English-speaking communities in Argentina. Despite their small numbers, the British and Americans--Anglo-Saxons and Celts--have had a significant influence and maintain their distinctive presence in Argentine life and culture. Andrew Graham-Yooll offers a broad overview of their presence over three centuries: the first visitors--Drake, Cavendish, Father Falkner; the slave trade; failed invasions; English merchants, mercenaries, and military heroes like Brown; Scottish settlers, preachers, churches, and schools; relationships with the Irish of Father Fahy, the Welsh of Chubut; sports--football, rugby, polo, tennis, golf, etc.; travelers and writers, entrepreneurs and bandits; railroads, Harrods, and the Hurlingham Club; the issue of the Falklands (with a personal memory of the events of 1982) and the approach with which the twentieth century closes. The Forgotten Colony is an informative and necessary synthesis to understand the important British contribution to the shared history of our country.
