Biography
Charles James Lambert (Santiago de Chile, 4 July 1894 - Málaga, 18 February 1967) was a British author born in Santiago de Chile, where he spent his childhood. He is a descendant of Carlos Lambert (1793-1876), a French-Chilean mining engineer and businessman who arrived in Chile in 1817 and revolutionized local copper mining by adapting European technology to Chilean copper mining. Charles James Lambert published in 1952 a book entitled *Sweet Water: A Chilean Farm*, which deals with one of the Lamberts' estates in Chile. The Lambert family withdrew permanently from Chile around 1925.
