From the front inside dust jacket flap, reading in part, "Upriver from Colombia's Cartagena a group of small farmers have hacked out of the jungle for each family a few acres of rich arable land. They have been virtual serfs on big estates but now at last they are themselves owners of land, in a position to sell their produce to the townsfolk. But the town's marketing regulations are rigged against the free farmers by grafting officials - [ ] - In desperation, they think of giving back to the government their hard-won land. Then a whisper comes upriver from Cartagena of a way for workers to get something better than a bare existence for their labor. The chosen man to find out about this wonderful new plan is Luis Romero, a young farmer." Signed and inscribed by author in blue pen: "To my very good friend Gerry Vaneck, Norman E. Nygaard."
