Summary: fascinating diary on amazon jungle life in the 1890's
Review: So they finally reprinted this book! My copy is an antique that I found by pure chance at my local GoodWill store. I loved this book! It is the diary of a man who spent several years living in the amazon jungle in the late 1890's. His encounters with nature, exotic animals, natives, tropical diseases (and more) fascinated me. The most well-known part of the book is how he got to observe first-hand the process of how headhunters shrink the heads. (It is a very precise process!) I'm surprised there are no other reviews of this book. Maybe it has been out-of-print so long that very few people know about it. If you like true life travel and adventure stories, I think you will like this book!
