The River Amazon: From Its Sources To The Sea is a non-fiction book written by Paul Fountain and originally published in 1914. The book is a comprehensive account of the Amazon River, covering its entire length from its sources in the Andes Mountains to its mouth in the Atlantic Ocean. Through detailed descriptions and vivid storytelling, Fountain explores the geography, history, and culture of the Amazon region. He discusses the river's unique ecosystem, including the diverse flora and fauna that inhabit its waters and banks. He also delves into the indigenous tribes that live along the river, their customs and traditions, and the impact of European colonization on their way of life. In addition to providing a wealth of information about the Amazon River, Fountain's book also serves as a travelogue, as he recounts his own journey down the river and shares his experiences with readers. He describes the challenges of navigating the river's many tributaries and rapids, as well as the beauty and wonder of the Amazonian landscape. Overall, The River Amazon: From Its Sources To The Sea is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the Amazon region, its history, and its people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
