Biographie de l'auteur

Robert Howe has written for newspapers and magazines, and most recently a book, Yours, from Wyoming, which describes life on a remote Wyoming guest ranch. But while he loves the American West and the remote ranch life, he also loves South American and the tropical rain forest. Howe became fascinated when, at age 13, he read Teddy Roosevelt's account of his voyage down the River of Doubt in Brazil. Finally, at age 43, the author journeyed to the Amazon and found it even more than he had hoped. Since then he has returned for 18 visits (so far).
