Up the Orinoco and Down the Magdalena

Across South America by river - up the Orinoco, over the divide and down the Magdalena - by a Catholic priest and scientist who made the journey in his late fifties. Zahm traveled with Theodore Roosevelt on a later expedition and wrote his own account of this one with a naturalist's attention. This edition binds 60 plates after Church, Bierstadt, Turner and others, and restores all 17 in-text illustrations in colour.
