"During three expeditions to the headwaters of the Amazon, Lewis Cotlow lived and made friends with the primitive tribes of Ecuador and Peru. But his main goal was the Jivaro head-hunters, and in this thrilling account of his journeys and adventures, he describes their costumes, their homes, their food, jokes, dances, ceremonials and their history. He treated these primitive people as fellow human beings, won their respect, and as a result was able to see and photograph rituals probably never recorded before. Never in serious danger from the tribes, he yet had many narrow escapes from animals, mountain streams and jungle-hopping planes. His narrative is therefore full both of excitement and of first-rate anthropological description.".

One would normally expect a professional explorer and anthropologist to seek out the answer to such a question?not a man whose main job is that of running a successful business in New York's financial district. But Lewis Cotlow, insurance man by vocation and explorer, photographer, and world traveler by avocation, wanted to know the answer. An insatiable curiosity about people and what makes them laugh, weep, love, and kill, had sent him traveling about the world from the time he was twenty-one years old. Finally it urged him to the headwaters of the Amazon, where a fiercely independent tribe of Indians still carries on its centuries-old religious rite of head-shrinking. Equipped only with his cameras and color films, a few provisions, and gifts for the Indians (among which eyebrow pencils were highly prized), Mr. Cotlow set out through the dense tropical jungle with a half-breed guide and a fervent hope that the warlike natives would not shoot first and make inquiries later, as was their not uncommon practice. Lewis Cotlow (1898-1987) always travels unarmed, knowing that in the jungle any hostile natives will have him under observation long before he can possibly see them, and that a lack of weapons is his best evidence of peaceful intent. ?When they have you completely at their mercy," he says, "the head-hunters can relax enough to become your friends," This book is the story of Cotlow's journeys and adventures in his quest to learn as much as he could about the Jivaro head-hunters and other primitive tribes of South America, and to make a film about their lives.
