The information included in these pages is far from complete and may even contain inaccuracies as some of it is now 10 years old, nevertheless, much of the material is probably available for the first time on the WWW.

Geological History and Climate
The Spanish Conquest and Colonization
The Provinces:
All information contained within these pages is Ó Richard Garrigues, 1996. Any reuse of said material must receive the prior written permission of the author.
