On foot and aboard little mules, the Bolinders dared the Andes, most often against the warnings of local officials and the padres of the ancient missions who had been trying for years to befriend the mountain Indians - whose silent, blood-tipped arrows the village people feared. This account of three journeys into the Sierra de Perija, that extension of the Andes which separates Columbia from Venezuela, was challenged by his fellow ethnologists until he could produce the extraordinary photographs which illustrate this story. Light grey cloth hardback with green lettering on spine, sunned endpapers, light foxing on page edges, otherwise clean tight copy in good condition,192pp Illustrated Dust Jacket tears on edges, rubbed, otherwise nice bright cover in acceptable condition. First published 1958 by The Adventurers Club Book#103781.
