El trabajo analiza libros escritos por tres mujeres nacidas en los Estados Unidos, quienes vivieron en Colombia en alguna época entre los años de 1920 y 1950 para determinar el valor potencial de esos textos como fuente de información para los historiadores de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Las tres autoras y sus obras son: Blair Niles: Colombia. Land of Miracles (Nueva York: D. Appleton-Century, 1939), Virginia Paxton: Penthouse in Bogotá (Nueva York: Reynal &amp, Hitchcock, 1943), y Nancy Bell Bates: East of the Andes and West of Nowhere: A Naturalist’s Wife in Colombia (Nueva York: Charles Scriber’s Sons, 1947). Después de evaluar los libros, el trabajo concluye que si no siempre comprendían lo que observaban, cada autora registra información valiosa que se habría perdido de otra forma.
