| Summary | "Descripcion Geografica De Un Nuevo Camino De La Gran Cordillera" by J. Sourryère de Souillac is a geographical account written in the early 19th century. The work likely discusses the exploration and mapping of a new route through the Andes Mountains to facilitate communication between Buenos Aires and Chile, emphasizing the importance of trade and transportation in the region. At the start of the text, the reader is introduced to the historical context of the journey, including references to earlier attempts to establish communication between the provinces divided by the Andes. It unfolds with the appointment of Sourryère de Souillac as the official responsible for exploring this new route, detailing the challenges he faced, including interactions with indigenous peoples and the harsh conditions of the terrain. The opening sets the stage for his meticulous observations that document the landscapes, distances, and potential routes, as well as the socio-political backdrop impeding progress in improving provincial connectivity in the region.
