From the author's preface: The biography of Helena Valero--a woman of Spanish blood abducted by the Yanoáma Indians, who lived for many years with them in the unexplored forest between Brazil and Venezuela?has been a great help to the recent scientific expedition which I directed in the tropical forest of America. The following pages represent a broad cross-section of the story. . . the opportunity of studying an unknown and wild group of Indians through the testimony of a woman prisoner. . . is a fortunate and exceptional event. . . no parallel in the history of American ethnology. I tape-recorded the story while I was with my companions on the expedition at the base of S[ão]. Gabriel, waiting for the crossing of the territory of the Yanoáma to begin.
