This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1883 Excerpt: ...Vcrncs, full of anecdotes, danger, escapes, and intercourse with Native Chiefs. The most charitable supposition is that in the Brazils, which he had certain" visited, he had obtained information from slaves, and welded this into a romantic Narrative, the details and possibilities of which have not been confirmed by other travellers.
