Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The North-West Amazons: Notes of Some Months Spent Among Cannibal Tribes Some months of the years 1908 and 1909 were passed by me travelling in regions between the River Issa and the River Apaporis where white men had scarcely penetrated previously. In the remoter parts of these districts the tribes of nomad Indians are frankly cannibal on occasion, and provide us with evidence of a condition of savagery that can hardly be found elsewhere in the world of the twentieth century. It will be noted that this area includes the Putumayo District. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This is an adventure book that chronicles the experiences of Algot Lange, who ventured to the remote parts of the Upper Amazon River, including a sojourn among cannibal Indians. The book details Lange's encounters with various challenges, such as disease, dangerous animals, and hostile tribes, and his survival in the difficult and unexplored terrain of the Javary River region, which lies on the border between Brazil and Peru. The book also provides valuable insights into the ethnology of the western Amazon region, including the weapons, habits, and forms of battle of various indigenous tribes living in the area.
