Hardbound. Condition: Good. 1st American Edition. Description: Includes a section of black and white photo plates. ''In 1499 Vicente Pinzon, who had accompanied Columbus on his first great voyage of discovery, was amazed to find that he was sailing through freshwater though out of sight of any land. He imagined that he had reached India; he was, in fact, off the coast of Brazil and what he had discovered was the mouth of the Amazon. Pinzon was astonished, and indeed this greatest river in the world continues to astonish us today. The Amazon is laid out on a gigantic scale, and it has attracted men who have a larger than life stance -- Francisco Pizarro and Francisco Orellana, searching for El Dorado; Lope de Aguirre, a figure of almost incredible cruelty; the Jesuits who developed a remarkable system for controlling the natives that at the same time saved them from slavery; Charles de la Condamine, staunch eighteenth century explorer and discoverer of the rubber tree; the intrepid Isabella Godin des Odonais, who wandered lost in the Amazon jungles; and Alexander von Humboldt, the seeker of knowledge rather than gold. The giants of the twentieth century include Theodore Roosevelt, discoverer of a new river, and Colonel Percy Fawcett, who has become legendary since his disappearance into the Brazilian interior in 1925. The book is compounded of high endeavor, tragedy, and adventure.''
