Book Description

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.
