Empires in the Wilderness: Foreign Colonization and Development in Guatemala, 1834-1844

by William J. Griffith

Overview

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.

Originally published in 1965.
