Excerpt from History of Paraguay, Vol. 2 of 2: With Notes of Personal Observations, and Reminiscences of Diplomacy Under DifficultiesSuch a calamity as the destruction of a nation and the ex termination of an entire race should not be allowed to pass unnoticed into Oblivion. There survive but few witnesses who can or will make public what they know of the long tragedy, and perhaps none but myself will ever attempt to publish the story of What they have seen, heard, and suf fered. Of these few who escaped, nearly all were either in prison for a long time, or kept under such surveillance around the army head-quarters that they knew little of what was transpiring in the country except what passed under their own eyes. My means of observation were also very imper feet, owing to the constant efforts of Lopez to prevent com munication between his camp and the capital, and to the in extricable mystery in which I found myself involved. Ican, however, give my own experience, and in time, perhaps, some one else may be able to produce a connected narrative from the various fragmentary statements Of the different Witnesses.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
