This author has a fantastic way with wordsBy Richard HahnThis book is truly outstanding. This author has a fantastic way with words. Let me explain. I have had the good fortune to have been in this area on two different occasions----both as a tourist---about 25 and 30 years ago so as I read this book; I visualize myself as the three men in the story. The time of this book was about year 1850 and I was fascinated by the authors vivid descriptions such as tile on a houses roof as I wasn't sure if tile was even invented at that time but I guess it was. Also; the part about hiring Indians to paddle the canoes and the first thing that I thought about was our own capitalistic system in which the wealthier people today do similar things. I also noted remarks about different classes and races of people in those days as well as a good deal of intermarriage which takes place today. I have to comment on the foods that were eaten especially Brazilian nuts as I learned some time ago that Brazilian nuts are supposed to be one of the most nutricious foods that we can possibly eat today. Although I am not especially interested in insects and butterflies---this author makes this part so descriptive and interesting that it is hard to put the book down.This Author John Hemming in my opinion has an absolute winner.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
