Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. After their surveys of the Rio Paraopeba and the Upper Rio Sao Francisco, the author determined to lead an expedition to establish a practicable overland route between the Sao Francisco Valley and the Rio Tocantins, an immense unmapped and unexplored area. This book is an account of his journey and the subsequent exploration of the Tocantins watershed from its source to the Amazon Valley. The author describes the difficulties he and his men faced in passing flooded streams and rivers, malaria-infested swamps, and forests, and their encounters with wild animals, insects, native peoples, and bandits. There is also a full account of a voyage down the Rio Grajahu, a main tributary of the Rio Mearim, that lies in a particularly isolated area of Maranhao.
