Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fifteen Thousand Miles on the Amazon and Its Tributaries In the autumn of 1873 the Amazon Steam Navigation Company (Limited) of London sent out an expedition, for the purpose of selecting and reporting upon certain territories, allotted to them by the Government of Brazil, on the banks of the Amazon and several of its tributaries. The authors of this book acted, one of them in the combined capacities of Chief and Geologist, and the other of Civil Engineer and Draughtsman. Mr. W. H. Trail, who performed the duties of Botanist and Medical Adviser, completed the staff. Although scarcely two years in that country, the authors were enabled, through the great facilities for travel afforded them, to see more than others visiting those regions, with ordinary means at their disposal, could hope to do in five. In the course of their journeys, which extended over more than 15,000 miles, they met with many amusing incidents, interesting characters, and mild adventures, which were duly recorded in their note-books during leisure moments.
