Excerpt from The World Book, Vol. 3 of 10: Organized Knowledge in Story and Picture Of the ancient inhabitants of Chile, the Araucanians and the Patagonians have been famous the world over for ages, though only about of the former remain, and the latter are practically extinct. The Araucanians had an' intense love for liberty and a deter mined, warlike Spirit, and they were the last native tribe in all America to give up their independence. Not until 1870 did they actually recognize the authority of the Chilean govern ment (see patagonia). Chile has practically no negro population, and has not been vexed with problems growing out of African 'slavery.
