Empires in the Wilderness: Foreign Colonization and Development in Guatemala, 1834-1844 - Paperback
by William J. Griffith (Author)
This is the account of a series of enterprises undertaken in Guatemala during the 1830s in an attempt to draw immigrants and capital from Europe to continue the subjugation of the vast unpeopled wastes. It is a record of failure, but a failure--like many others--from which much is to be learned.
