notes:
|
Angostura [Ciudad Bolívar] is on the Orinoco River and was originally called Santo Tomé de Guayana de Angostura del Orinoco. It was the headquarters for the revolutionary government during its war for independence from Spain. In 1819, the Congress of Angostura declared Simón Bolívar president of Venezuela.Advertisement states that the author wished his name to be concealed, because he was critical of the people and government of Venezuela. His journey "in support of the South American Patriots" began in late 1817.Image placed horizontally on page.
