Coming to prominence during the rubber fever of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, the Putumayo has long been a site of political turmoil, a place of mass immigration, exile, subjugation, insurgency, and violence, all of which have fostered a long, international literary history. Colombia's Forgotten Frontier maps a literary map of this history for the first time. Lesley Wylie looks at works by writers from Latin America, the United States, and Europe— including works by Roger Casement, José Eustasio Rivera, and Williams Burroughs—in order to examine Colombia's literary legacy of marginality and conflict.

Orito Field occupies an area of 31 mi2 (80 km2) in the west-central portion of the Putumayo Basin, Colombia and forms part of an extensive littoral system that dominated sedimentation during Albian-Aptian time. The Caballos Formation represents the oldest Cretaceous unit, and was deposited at the beginning of a retrogradational episode immediately above the eroded Triassic-Jurassic surface. The Caballos Formation has an average thickness of 240 ft (73 m) and is largely composed of fine grained, highly compacted quartzarenites, cemented by quartz and kaolinite. A geologic model integrating all the available information allows the definition of four depositional events in the Caballos. The lowest depositional unit is composed of fluvial deposits with minor tidal influence. These fluvial sands grade upward into estuarine deposits formed in tidal channels and tidal flats, that are in turn overlain by tidal channel deposits, and are finally eroded and overlain by tidal mouth bars deposits. The vertical facies association is the product of a retrogradational episode and represents deposition in a tide-modified estuary, inside which diagenetic processes acted differently modifying the petrophysical properties of the facies that compose the Caballos reservoir in Orito field. Historical production trends of the Caballos reservoir correlate with the major depositional axes defined in this study and allow to delineation of high potential areas for future development, by means of targeted infill drilling and workovers.

Excerpt from The Putumayo Red Book: Containing Proposals for the Protection of the Aborigines and the Effective Administration of the Putumayo Regions Under an International Board Under instructions of the Colombian Govern ment, as announced in a number of English news papers, copies of the first edition of this volume were forwarded post free to applicants. A large number of copies were thus put into circulation, and an edition in Spanish has been published with my consent by the Colombian Government. For its publication I have received the thanks of the Government and people of Colombia. The book has attracted widespread attention in this country, and the general approval of its objects by the public and the Press has afforded me the keenest satisfaction. As the principal object of the publication of this volume was to Show the urgent need for arbitration in respect of determining once and for all the frontier limits of Colombia and Peru, which are disputed, it may be stated that this point of view is now widely shared by thinking people in this country. For this reason the publication of this volume has not failed in its purpose, and it is a matter for congratulation that the two Govern ments concerned are likely, at an early date, to reach a final and satisfactory settlement respecting arbitration.

"This memoir brings together results from a multidisciplinary study of the processes that have formed the highest, widest part of the Andean Cordilleran orogenic belt in northern Argentina and Chile. The region features a tectonically erosive forearc, protracted arc magmatism, a high-elevation hinterland plateau and strongly shortened retroarc thrust belt, and a Paleocene-Recent foreland basin system"--

For nearly five decades, Colombia has been embroiled in internal armed conflict among guerrilla groups, paramilitary militias, and the country’s own military. Civilians in Colombia have to make their lives despite the threat of torture, kidnapping, and large-scale massacres—and more than four million have had to flee their homes. The oral histories in Throwing Stones at the Moon describe the most widespread of Colombia’s human rights crises: forced displacement. Speakers recount life before displacement, the reasons for their flight, and their struggle to rebuild their lives. Among the narrators: JULIA, a hospital union leader whose fight against corruption led to a brutal attempt on her life. In 2009, assassins tracked her to her home and stabbed her seven times in the face and chest. Since the attack, Julia has undergone eight facial reconstructive surgeries, and continues to live in hiding. DANNY, who at eighteen joined a right-wing paramilitary’s enormous training camp in the Eastern Plains of Colombia. Initially lured by the promise of quick money, Danny soon realized his mistake and escaped to Ecuador. He describes his harrowing escape and his struggle to survive as a refugee with two young children to support.
