Lieutenant Strain, who would later command the U. S. Navy Darien Exploring Expedition, traveled across the South American continent from Valparaiso, Chili, to the capital city of Santiago, and across Argentina along the Paraguay river. According to editor J. T. Headley's note introducing the first article, "It was the design of Lieutenant Strain to write out the details of an expedition to explore the Paraguay, and publish it consecutively with this. The two were then, with the Darien Expedition, to be put in a book form. His sudden and unexpected death having prevented the completion of this plan, his papers were placed in my hands for publication." Headley had previously published an account of the Darien Expedition in the May, 1855, Harper's. Illustrations include the birlocha, a Chilian ox cart, the departure from Santiago, the Pass of Uspallata, the Devisa, the San Luis return of the Videttes, dance of the Viejas, the Pampa coach, a Pampa fortress, and other scenes of general interest. Housed in protective mylar report cover.
