Présentation de l'éditeur
The chapters in this volume are from the experience of five separate overland and river expeditions into South A merica, beginning in 1902. Largely these were by canoe, and chiefly on streams more or less connecting hence the significance of the title Flowing Road They embraced a continuous journey from Santa I sabel, on the Rio Negro, in Brazil, to Ciudad Bolivar, on the Orinoco, in Venezuela; from San Fer lutndo, on the A pure, to the head waters and return, of the Orinoco, via the A tabapo and the Casiquiare; down the Portuguese in Venezuela, the A pure and the Orinoco to its mouth; and on the Parana, the Salado and Feliciano rivers in A rgentine. The saddle trips included crossing the llanos, which stretch between the VeneHU elan north coast mountain range and the Orinoco on the south, and the llanos and the forest to the east of Lake Maracaibo; skirting the Cordilleras at the east of Colombia; across the Andes into Chile; and some penetration of the pampas of Argentine and the forests of Brazil. Incidental to getting to and from the frontier I sojourned for brief periods at a majority of the leading cities on the continent. Tn the far southeastern corner of Venezuela roam a native people whom common report of the country declares to be savage arid unknown.
