Among The Indians Of Guiana is a book written by Everard Ferdinand Im Thurn, which contains sketches and anthropological studies of the indigenous people living in the interior of British Guiana (now Guyana) during the late 19th century. Thurn, who was a British explorer and naturalist, spent several years living among the Amerindian tribes in the region, and this book is a result of his observations and experiences.The book provides a detailed account of the customs, beliefs, and daily life of the Amerindian tribes, including the Arawaks, Caribs, and Wapisianas. Thurn also describes the geography and natural resources of the region, as well as the interactions between the indigenous people and the British colonial authorities.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Amerindian life, such as their social organization, religious practices, and hunting techniques. Thurn's writing is both informative and engaging, and he provides vivid descriptions of the people and places he encountered during his travels.Overall, Among The Indians Of Guiana is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the lives of the Amerindian tribes of British Guiana during the late 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in anthropology, colonial history, or the indigenous cultures of South America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
