The Fall of Panama: And Other Isthmian Rhymes and Sketches is a collection of poems and sketches written by James Stanley Gilbert in 1894. The book is centered around the Panama Canal and the events that led to its construction, including the failed French attempt and the eventual American takeover. The poems and sketches are written in a satirical and humorous style, often poking fun at the political and social issues of the time. Gilbert's writing also reflects the racial attitudes of the era, with derogatory depictions of indigenous peoples and African Americans. Despite its problematic aspects, The Fall of Panama remains a valuable historical document, providing insight into the attitudes and perspectives of the time. It is also a fascinating glimpse into the early days of the Panama Canal, a project that would go on to have a significant impact on global trade and transportation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
