Hardcover. Condition: Poor. First Edition. 1st printing. Cloth. 276pp. Illus. Endpaper maps. Custom bookplate from library of William D. Waltman. From Wiki: "In the early 1920s, Richard Marsh was sent by Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone to look for suitable rubber lands. He unsuccessfully explored the region between the Canal and Costa Rica as the land was irregular for large-scale rubber growing. In consequence, he explored the Darien region that remained unexplored in that years. Marsh sought some "white-Indians" in the region and come back to the United States to organize a scientific expedition in the Darien." A scarce book now. This a rather poor copy, fraying at head/toe of spine, edge fading, front hinge broken after half-title, rear fly missing. Bookplate on front paste down covers part of map but rear paste down and fly leaf has same map. This title probably belongs in a Bigfoot / Sasquatch library as it has an account (p.20ff) the sighting of a large bipedal hominoid near Pinas Bay. Only a couple of pages of info but quite interesting. Certainly an adequate reading copy.
