My Swiss explorer great-great-grandfather Henri de Büren stopped many places and saw many things during his two-year journey through the United States, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Panama, Peru and Brazil. I intend to retrace his original 1852-1853 voyage as closely as I can today. The map below shows at a high-level the path that he took.
What a voyage!
ReplyDeleteSurely he got impressed for all: The U.S pre civil war, Mexico and Panama before the channel, Callao and Trujillo, then the Amazonan jungle and finally the Imperial Brasil... and certainly he thought to write a book, just like Damian Schutz did.
