In Search of El Dorado

A gripping early 20th century exploration narrative charting Alexander Macdonald's quest for gold across the Amazon Basin and the Andean frontier. Rich in first-hand detail jungle hardship, prospecting camps, remote settlements, and encounters with Indigenous communities (colonial perspective). A classic of South American adventure literature, prized by collectors of rare travel writing and gold-seeking narratives, split to front gutter, rear gutter, minor foxing, numerous b/w plates, wear to cover, cover edges.
