C. Reginald (Charles Reginald) Enock
1868–1970
An engineer turned traveler-writer, he spent years exploring Peru and other parts of Latin America, then turned those journeys into vivid books on landscape, history, and everyday life. His work brought distant places to English-speaking readers at a time when much of the region was still little known to them.

About the author
Born in Birmingham in 1868, C. Reginald Enock trained as an engineer but became best known as a traveler and author. Archival and bibliographic records describe him as a British engineer, traveler, and writer, and his long career was closely tied to Latin America, especially Peru.
He wrote widely about geography, history, industry, and travel, with books including The Andes and the Amazon, Peru, Mexico, and The Republics of Central and South America. His writing mixed firsthand experience with a strong interest in how places worked — not just their scenery, but their people, resources, transport, and development.
Enock lived an unusually long life, dying in 1970. Today he is remembered as one of those energetic early twentieth-century authors who tried to explain Latin America to a broad English-language readership through travel narrative, observation, and popular history.
