| Summary | "Working North from Patagonia" by Harry Alverson Franck is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century.

As Franck embarks on this adventure, he immerses himself in the unique settings of various cities, capturing the essence of Latin America during a transformative period in its history. The opening of the journey begins in Buenos Aires, where Franck takes on a role as an assistant to the American consul general. He reflects on the stark contrasts between the urban sophistication of Buenos Aires and the rural simplicity of the surrounding regions. Through his observations, he paints a vivid picture of the city's evolution, highlighting its bustling streets and diverse populace. The narrative not only sets the stage for his exploration of South America but also hints at the broader cultural and historical contexts that shape the experiences he will share throughout his journey.
