Book excerpt: The story of two generations of scientific explorers in South America—Richard Evans Schultes and his protégé Wade Davis—an epic tale of adventure and a compelling work of natural history. In 1941, Professor Richard Evan Schultes took a leave from Harvard and disappeared into the Amazon, where he spent the next twelve years mapping uncharted rivers and living among dozens of Indian tribes. In the 1970s, he sent two prize students, Tim Plowman and Wade Davis, to follow in his footsteps and unveil the botanical secrets of coca, the notorious source of cocaine, a sacred plant known to the Inca as the Divine Leaf of Immortality. A stunning account of adventure and discovery, betrayal and destruction, One River is a story of two generations of explorers drawn together by the transcendent knowledge of Indian peoples, the visionary realms of the shaman, and the extraordinary plants that sustain all life in a forest that once stood immense and inviolable.

Book Synopsis The Discovery of the Oregon Trail by : Robert Stuart
Download or read book The Discovery of the Oregon Trail written by Robert Stuart and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Stuart saw the American West a few years after Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and, like them, kept a journal of his epic experience. A partner in John Jacob Astor’s Pacific Fur Company, the Scotsman shipped for Oregon aboard the Tonquin in 1810 and helped found the ill-fated settlement of Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia River. In 1812, facing disaster, Stuart and six others slipped away from Astoria and headed east. His journal, edited and annotated by Philip Ashton Rollins, describes their hazardous 3,700-mile journey to St. Louis. Crossing the Rockies in winter, they faced death by cold, starvation, and hostile Indians. But they made history by discovering what came to be called the Oregon Trail, including South Pass, over which thousands of emigrants would travel west in mid-century. Besides Stuart’s narrative, this volume contains important material about Astoria and the fate of the Tonquin, as well as the harrowing account of Wilson Price Hunt, who headed a party of overlanders traveling east to join the Astorians.

Download or read book The Boiling River written by Andrés Ruzo and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exciting adventure mixed with amazing scientific study, a young, exuberant explorer and geoscientist journeys deep into the Amazon—where rivers boil and legends come to life. When Andrés Ruzo was just a small boy in Peru, his grandfather told him the story of a mysterious legend: There is a river, deep in the Amazon, which boils as if a fire burns below it. Twelve years later, Ruzo—now a geoscientist—hears his aunt mention that she herself had visited this strange river. Determined to discover if the boiling river is real, Ruzo sets out on a journey deep into the Amazon. What he finds astounds him: In this long, wide, and winding river, the waters run so hot that locals brew tea in them; small animals that fall in are instantly cooked. As he studies the river, Ruzo faces challenges more complex than he had ever imaged. The Boiling River follows this young explorer as he navigates a tangle of competing interests—local shamans, illegal cattle farmers and loggers, and oil companies. This true account reads like a modern-day adventure, complete with extraordinary characters, captivating plot twists, and jaw-dropping details—including stunning photographs and a never-before-published account about this incredible natural wonder. Ultimately, though, The Boiling River is about a man trying to understand the moral obligation that comes with scientific discovery —to protect a sacred site from misuse, neglect, and even from his own discovery.

Book Synopsis The Passageway to the Pacific is the Snake River But Lewis and Clark Didn't Know That! by : Sharon Henderson Hudson
Download or read book The Passageway to the Pacific is the Snake River But Lewis and Clark Didn't Know That! written by Sharon Henderson Hudson and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I've discovered the Passageway to the Pacific! It's the Snake River-the North Fork! But Lewis and Clark didn't know that. They took the wrong fork at Three Forks, Montana. They should have taken the Madison River, not the Jefferson. The Madison takes you south into the Snake River which is in Island Park, Idaho. The Snake is a wide, deep-flowing river that flows into the Columbia River-which was Lewis and Clark's destination in 1805. The book describes the unique country where these three states meet-Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. This area includes Yellowstone, the Tetons and Island Park. The headwaters of the Snake River starts at Big Springs, Idaho. That area was discovered by Andrew Henry and his trappers in 1810. How many Native Americans must have camped at that beautiful spot over the centuries? It was the trappers who opened up the West-after Lewis and Clark. They went everywhere! Then came the settlers, Mormons, miners, Mormon Battalions' road and the Mexican War ('46-48). Included is the early Spanish Southwest and California history. That's how the United States was born-in just 40 years-from 1806 to 1848, from the East to the West! It's amazing!
