From Colon to Panama (1912): Illustrated with historical photos, postcards, documents and maps

By Jaime Massot

This publication presents excerpts from "The Panama Guide"; specifically the chapter entitled "From Colon to Panama". This historical work is considered of great importance for the knowledge of what life was like in Panama more than 100 years ago, mainly in the villages and towns located in the old transisthmian railroad; inaugurated in 1855 and relocated (1907-1912) during the construction of the Panama Canal (opened in 1914). Certain texts of the original publication (1912) have been edited and some advertising has been included at the end of each section. Historical documents, drawings, photos, postcards, plans and maps, from different sources but related to the content, are incorporated to illustrate the trip from Colon to Panama and the places visited in between. Emphasis is given to the humane factor of the huts, villages and towns compared to the canal construction or the railroad track relocation.
