A Lady's Ride Across Spanish Honduras (1884)

A Lady's Ride Across Spanish Honduras is a travelogue written by a woman named Maria Soltera in 1884. The book chronicles Soltera's journey across the Central American country of Honduras on horseback, during a time when the region was still largely unexplored by outsiders. Soltera provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, people, and cultures she encounters along the way, as well as the challenges she faces as a lone female traveler in a rugged and unfamiliar terrain.Throughout the book, Soltera offers insights into the political and social climate of Honduras during the late 19th century, including the country's struggles with poverty, corruption, and violence. She also reflects on her own experiences as a woman traveling alone in a patriarchal society, and the ways in which her gender shaped her interactions with the people she met.A Lady's Ride Across Spanish Honduras is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of travel and exploration, and a testament to the courage and resilience of a pioneering female adventurer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
