Comment: Some history: Although this is the "second edition", this book dates back to 1976, when it was titled, America: An Astrological Portrait of Its Cities and States. In 1984 it was republished by ACS as Horoscopes of the Western Hemisphere, and included charts from Baffin Bay to Tierra del Fuego. When the AFA first reprinted the book in 1996, everything south of Texas was dropped, eg, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central & South America. In the second edition to the 1996 edition, six more cities are added to California (Ventura, San Luis Obisbo among them), two more cities in Virginia, plus Puerto Rico and its two biggest cities, and the US Virgins & its capital. And it again has a proper binding.
In this book, in addition to charts of historical events, you will find natal charts for all 50 states, plus major cities in each, plus Canadian provinces & major cities (e-mail us if you want to know if your favorite city is in here). Most charts rectified by the author, lots of notes.
In the 1984 edition of this book, Penfield wrote, One of the basic problems facing any researcher concerns the accuracy of data. While most persons have their birthdate recorded, the cities and countries of the world present an entirely different dilemma. Fortunately, the Latin American countries presented no such problem, for these were more often than not founded by Catholic individuals who kept accurate records.... Latin American cities were founded with pomp and ceremony, often with both religious and military honors.... Latin American cities were often founded and chartered, or incorporated, on the same day, like Bogota and Lima.... (pg. 289). Penfield's 1984 Latin American section comprised 128 pages & some 144 charts, including 39 from Mexico, 15 from Central America, 32 from the Caribbean, 58 from South America. Of these, a total of five are given in this new second edition. All the rest are missing. It would be wonderful to see them all back in print. The AFA tells me they plan to issue them in a separate volume. Penfield is, to my knowledge, the only source for most.
