Puerto Rico 



AND ITS 

 RESOURCES. 



IN THE CANE-FIELD. 



A book for Travelers, Investors, and others, containing Full Accounts of Nat- 

 ural Features and Resources, Products, People, Opportunities for Business, 

 etc. By FREDERICK A. OBER, author of " Camps in the Caribbees," 

 "Crusoe's Island," etc With Map and Illustrations. i2mo. Cloth, $1.50. 



THE aim has been to produce a work that will answer all questions likely to arise 

 in connection with the acquisition and occupation of this new tropical pos- 

 session of ours, and to this end Mr. Ober has availed himself of every oppor- 

 tunity of adding to his stock of information acquired during the past eighteen years. 

 His book is not a sketch for the casual visitor, or impressions of a traveler in search 

 of the picturesque, but it is a comprehensive, informing, and interesting account of 

 the people, land, and products, with the full explanations of the actual conditions 

 and opportunities which are needed by visitors and intending investors. 



Boston Globe : 



" The best authoritative and ' eyewitnessing ' book on this subject yet 

 printed. . . . Mr. Ober describes in a definite, practical way its com- 

 mercial, strategic, agricultural, financial, political, and geographical 

 features, and furnishes just the information sought for by intending 

 settlers."
