Author: RICE, A. Hamilton
Title: The Rio Branco, Uraricuera and Parima.
Publisher: London: Royal Geographical Society, 1928.
Item is in ORIGINAL Condition, With Blue Wrappers - As Issued, in Three Consecutive Issues, Complete with All the Ads!!!

Notes: This is a fascinating expedition report on explorations in South America. The area under consideration is Brazilian Guayana, and is the north-east portion of a huge quadrilateral that may be delimited by lines dropped from Bogota, Columbia, and Mount Roraima, to Iquitos, Peru, and Manaos, Amazonas, respectively, and the two western points connected with their eastern opposites by parallels.

On this, his seventh expedition, which was conducted in conjunction with the Department of Tropical Medicine of Harvard University, the primary objectives were both geographical exploration and medical investigation. Specific locations included Manaus, Rio Negro; Boa Vista; Serra do Parima; and Rio Branco (Roraima). Tribal groups encountered include: Shirianes, Maiongongs, and Xirixanes.

This is Dr. Hamilton's fascinating first-hand account of surveys of the Rio Branco and insight into the life and customs of Indian Nations including the Makuxi, Uapixana and Jaricuna.

In 1924 the well-known geographer penetrated to the eastern flanks of the Parima Massif, on Brazil's Parima River, where he noted obvious malnutrition. Rice concluded that these remote Yanomami "...are not the fierce and intractable people that legend ascribes them to be, but for the most part poor, undersized, inoffensive creatures who eke out a miserable existence." (Tierney, ch. 16)
