Description

Across Patagonia Illustrated tells the story of Florence Dixie's remarkable journey to South America in 1878-1879. With her husband, two brothers, and Julius Beerbohm, she embarked on an adventure that took her deep into the heart of Patagonia.

The expedition was not without its challenges, as they faced a devastating prairie fire while riding through the countryside. Despite the dangers, Dixie's party persevered, and upon their return to England, she wrote about her experiences in her book Across Patagonia.

This account of her travels offers a unique glimpse into the country and its inhabitants, and it was shared with Charles Darwin, who is now preserved in his Library at Cambridge University Library. A hotel in Chile has also been named in Dixie's honour, a testament to the enduring legacy of her travels.
