Book Overview

An American Consul In Amazonia (1911) is a memoir written by Joseph Orton Kerbey, an American diplomat who served as the US Consul in the Amazonian city of Par�����, Brazil, from 1907 to 1911. The book provides a detailed account of Kerbey's experiences living and working in the Amazon region, including his interactions with local indigenous tribes, Brazilian government officials, and foreign traders. Kerbey also describes the challenges he faced as a representative of the US government in a remote and often politically volatile area, as well as his efforts to promote American interests and protect American citizens in the region. The book offers a unique perspective on the history and culture of the Amazon region during the early 20th century, as well as insights into the role of American diplomacy in Latin America at that time. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of South America or the history of American foreign relations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
