A Story of Life on the Isthmus by Joseph W. Fabens is a book that tells the story of the construction of the Panama Canal. The author, who was a civil engineer, gives a detailed account of the challenges faced by the workers who built the canal and the impact it had on the people who lived in the area. The book describes the difficult living conditions, the diseases that plagued the workers, and the political and social issues that arose during the construction. The author also provides a historical background of the area and the events that led to the decision to build the canal. The book is a fascinating account of a monumental engineering feat and the human cost of its construction. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Panama Canal and the people who built it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
