The most interesting thing: "This was the first time the country illustrated has ever been traversed by white men. Indeed, the reader will unhesitatingly believe that no party of men, less experienced in work of this kind and less elaborately equipped, could have conducted an expedition involving so great hardships and productive of so comprehensive results. The facts are detailed." Seems the party succeeded brilliantly at what they set out to do. Copyright 2002 Jerri Brooker
