Our guides have many years of experience, are fluent in English, speaking, reading, and writing. They have also completed a rigorous training program that includes not only knowledge (nature, history culture, politics, etc.), but also interpretation, meaning the ability to convey knowledge in a matter that is engaging and fitting for the audience. They must all complete a leadership course and annually renew their Wilderness First Aid (WFA) & CPR certifications. 4 www.Isthmianadventures.com Why Panamá? When one considers Panama, you immedi- ately think of the Panama Canal, which is an amazing engineering marvel, but Panama is so much more than just the most popular channel in the world. The Isthmus of Panama is the land bridge connecting the Americas, providing a cross- road for biodiversity, wildlife, and culture. Panama is the umbilical cord of the Amer- icas. And since the era of the conquest, people from all over the world have transit- ed through Panama, making the country a melting pot of history and cultures. www.Isthmianadventures.com 5 Destination Management The Isthmian Adventures family with more than 30 combined years of experience is a receptive Destinations Travel Management provider.

  • Honor and Justice in the Thousand Days' War, 1899
    BATTLEFIELD COLOMBIA: HONOR AND JUSTICE IN THE THOUSAND DAYS’ WAR, 1899-1902 Marlon William Londoño A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the History Department in the College of Arts & Sciences. Chapel Hill 2021 Approved by: Miguel La Serna Joseph T. Glatthaar Ana María Silva Campo © 2021 Marlon William Londoño ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Marlon William Londoño: BATTLEFIELD COLOMBIA: HONOR AND JUSTICE IN THE THOUSAND DAYS’ WAR, 1899-1902 (Under the direction of Miguel La Serna and Joseph T. Glatthaar) Honor was the core motivating factor for Colombians who participated in the Thousand Days’ War. It transcended racialized, gendered, and class-based societal boundaries. But these boundaries nevertheless determined how different elements of Colombian society at the turn of the twentieth century perceived honor. They also determined how these elements of Colombian society perceived justice and what constituted a reparation of injured or affronted honor. My analysis of honor in Colombian society during the Thousand Days’ War considers the perspectives of the generals, the clergy, and the soldiers. Their writings, publications, and memories reveal how their wartime activities revealed intense anxieties over their reputation and identity in their communities. They also reveal what constituted justice in their minds, and the difficulties inherent in trying to establish a satisfactory framework for the cessation of hostilities. iii AKNOWLEDGEMENTS The general that hearkens to my counsel and acts upon it, will conquer: let such a one be retained in command! The general that hearkens not to my counsel nor acts upon it, will suffer defeat: let such a one be dismissed! —Sun Tzu, The Art of War Battlefield Colombia is my first project as a professional historian-in-training and the culmination of my first two years in graduate school at UNC Chapel Hill.
