Synopsis

""Head Hunters of the Amazon"" is a non-fiction book written by F.W. Up De Graff, which explores the customs and practices of the indigenous tribes of the Amazon rainforest. The book provides an in-depth look at the lives of these tribes, including their hunting methods, religious beliefs, and social structures. The author also discusses the impact of modernization on these communities and the challenges they face in preserving their traditional way of life. The book is based on the author's personal experiences and observations during his travels in the Amazon region, and it offers a unique perspective on the fascinating and often misunderstood cultures of the area. Overall, ""Head Hunters of the Amazon"" is an informative and engaging read that sheds light on the diverse and complex societies that inhabit one of the world's most biodiverse regions.Suddenly with a yell he broke cover and came sprinting down toward the water. At first we could think of nothing but a war-party of Huambizas. In another second, however, we spotted the cause of his terror. Not two yards behind him, skimming over the ground at the same pace as its quarry, came a black snake. With a howl Ambusha dashed into the water, just in time to escape the venomous fangs. The snake halted. At that moment, I seized my rifle and shot its head off.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

IT is not given to many of us to wander through the waste places of the earth, and too often the explorer leaves no written record of his experiences. Mr. Up de Graff led an adventurous life in the region drained by the extreme head waters of the Amazon, and he was a keen observer of all that passed on around him. As he says, he is not a trained naturalist and the deductions he draws from some of his observations may be questioned by men whose life work is natural history, but any such criticisms do not detract from the value of the work. Anyone who has tried it out knows that three equally reliable men observing together a scene or incident, combining variety of action with rapidity of duration may make greatly varying independent reports of what took place.
