Excerpt from From Cape Horn to Panama: A Narrative of Missionary Enterprise Among, the Neglected Races of South, America, by the South American Missionary Society The name Tierra del Fuego was given to this region by the early Spanish navigators, from the appearance which the entire coast presented of recent volcanic action. This, however, was mere surmise on their part, there being, it is said, no evidence to bear out the supposition. It is doubtful whether in any part of the world, not excepting even dreary Labrador, a more uninviting region is to be found than the most southerly portion of the South American Continent, terminating at Cape Horn. In particular, the Tierra del Fuegian Archipelago, with its innumerable small islands, has been described as a land of darkness, a country Of gloom, a scene of wild desolation - withal so bleak and cold and tempestuous - navigation, especially in stormy weather, so intricate and dangerous - islands and mainland alike so utterly destitute of the ordinary comforts of life - food supplies so uncertain and meagre in quantity - exposed as the natives are to so many and varied dangers and privations on land and sea - living in wretched wigwams in the primeval forests, in caves, or sheltered only by overhanging rocks and almost entirely cut Off from intercourse with civilized society, as well as from friendly help, especially in time of sickness - such was the region which drew to it the missionary sympathies of this devoted man.
