Explorations of the Highlands of Brazil: With a Full Account of the Gold & Diamond Mines

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In 1866 Richard Burton became British Consul in Santos, Brazil, and began scouting for the British Empire, with an eye for what would be useful and what would not. As always, Burton is colorful, opinionated, insightful, detailed (noting and recording innumerable ethnographic details), and highly entertaining. Two classic volumes in one book that cover the exploration of the fabulously rich mining region of Minas Gerais and canoeing down the entire 3,000 kilometer length of the previously uncharted Sao Francisco River to the Atlantic.
