These books, volume 1 and 2, relate the habitat of the South American Camelids. God created the llamas of these cold regions for the good of the inhabitants, who without this animal would have a very difficult life, since these are very arid lands where there is no cotton for clothes, like in warm climates, and to have to purchase it elsewhere for so many people would be impossible. For which reason, God compensated for the barrenness of the uninhabited punas and paramos of these sierras by putting there such a large number of these docile animals that they cannot be counted, for they have been all around there since anciest times, and were all the wealth of all the mountain Indians; for they clothed themselves in their wool and made shoes from their skins; and so wore nothing...

This volume tells the story of the South Americans and their history through a survey of their food culture. Food in the various countries differs in some ways because of cultural heritage, cooking techniques, and geography, here divided into four zones. The traditions of the primary groups—Indians, Europeans, and Africans—and their five centuries of mixing have still resulted in a stable food culture. The foods of the Indians before European contact still play an important role, along with other foods brought by successive immigrant groups. Europeans tried to establish their staples, wheat and wine, with little success. Many dishes, cooking methods, and food habits have survived with little modification since time immemorial. Students and other readers will learn much about the South... Less
