Publisher's Synopsis
Silent Highways of the Jungle is a travelogue written by George Miller Dyott, detailing his adventures as an explorer in the Andes and the upper reaches of the Amazon River in the early 20th century. The book is divided into chapters, each describing a different leg of his journey, from his initial arrival in Peru to his encounters with indigenous tribes and the challenges he faced navigating the treacherous terrain of the jungle. Dyott writes vividly of the natural beauty of the region, as well as the dangers posed by wild animals and disease. He also includes observations on the cultures and customs of the people he encountered, providing a fascinating glimpse into a world largely unknown to Westerners at the time. The book is a compelling account of one man's quest for adventure and discovery in a remote and mysterious part of the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
