Exploration Of The Valley Of The Amazon, Part 2

By Lardner Gibbon and William Lewis Herndon

A spellbinding journey into the wild heart of South America rediscovered and reborn for a new generation. Lardner Gibbon s Exploration of the Valley of the Amazon, Part 2 is a vivid 19th century exploration narrative that carries readers down twisting tributaries of the Amazon River, into dense rainforest, and into encounters with Amazonian wildlife and the people who have made the basin their home. Part travelogue, part scientific record, the book blends precise observation of natural history with the immediacy of an adventure in the Amazon. Gibbon s prose captures the danger, wonder, and discovery of an era when Amazon River discoveries still reshaped maps and imaginations.

Perfectly suited to casual readers craving an adventure in the Amazon and to collectors of classic exploration narrative, this volume is indispensable for anyone interested in Amazon Valley exploration, the natural history of the Amazon, South American travel, and the legacy of 19th century exploration. Rediscover a foundational Lardner Gibbon book and witness the Amazon as it once astonished the world.
