Miscellaneous References and Mentions

While our initial information about Peru came from various goverment sources (GNIS, US Census, FIPS), we also found mention of Peru in various books, maps and other sources.

We've created the following list to keep track of the sources that proved useful in adding to our knowledge about Peru. We hope that they will be useful to you.

Note: Initially, we were careless about keeping track of where our Peru data came from. The following list of references and mentions is incomplete.
