Description: Cuzco and Lima by Clements R. Markham Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Appearing in 1856 as his first publication on the topic, this is a lively and entertaining account of Clements Markhams travels through Peru to the city of Cuzco. His stay there allowed him to study the ruins and research the lost Inca civilisation, which he describes in detail. Publisher Description Clements R. Markham (1830–1916) began his career in the Royal Navy, sailing to South America, learning Spanish, and participating in the Arctic search for Sir John Franklin. In 1852, determined to succeed as an explorer and geographer, he travelled to Peru and visited the site of the ancient city of Cuzco, previously little known in Europe. Published in 1856, this is Markhams lively account of his travels. In his description of arriving in Panama we see a picture of the mid-nineteenth-century eagerness to explore (or exploit) Latin America. Markhams stay in Cuzco allowed him ample time to study the ruins and research the lost Inca civilisation, and also gave him his introduction to the properties of the cinchona plant, a source of quinine, which he later returned to collect and introduce to India, as described in his 1862 Travels in Peru and India (also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection).
