Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Devil-Tree of El Dorado: A Novel
Shall the mysterious mountain long known to scientists as foremost among the wonders of our earth regarded by many as the greatest marvel of the world - become definitely Venezuelan territory? This is the question that hangs in the balance at the time these words are being written, that is inseparably associated - though many of the public know it not with the dispute that has arisen about the boundaries of British Guiana.
