| Summary | "Descripcion del rio Paraguay, desde la boca del Xauru hasta la confluencia del Paraná" by P. José Quiroga is a scientific geographical account published in the 19th century, specifically in 1836. This book serves as an extensive exploration and documentation of the Paraguay River, detailing its course, tributaries, and the various indigenous groups inhabiting the surrounding areas. In this detailed work, Quiroga meticulously describes the geography of the Paraguay River, its origins in the highlands, and over 20 tributaries that join the river from both the eastern and western banks. He documents various geographical features of the landscape, including navigable segments of the river and notable landmarks, while also providing insights into the flora and fauna discovered along its banks. Additionally, the book addresses the indigenous populations residing in the region and their interactions with Portuguese and Spanish colonists, illustrating the complex social dynamics of the time. Through Quiroga's observations, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of the physical and cultural landscape of the Paraguay River during the early 19th century.
