About this title

Synopsis

1595: A hundred Englishmen, led by Sir Walter Raleigh, row up a river in South America in search of the lost city of El Dorado. Four hundred years later, Nicholl follows their trail into the strange terrain of this enduring legendary obsession. Coloring and deepening the intense recollections of the original Elizabethan expedition are stories of the legendary bush pilot Jimmy Angel and of life in the shantytowns of the gold diggers. Illustrations.
