Summary: Lost Cities, Lost Explorer!
Comment: In 1921 Col. P. H. Fawcett set down the narrative of his first 7 trips into the heart of the lost world of the Amazon Basin and it's mountain ramparts of Bolivia and Peru (beginning in 1906). He was searching for the fabled City of Gold which had lured many a conquistador. He never returned from his 8th trip. He simply walked into the jungle and was never heard from again. This book was edited by Brian Fawcett - after waiting a number of years to make sure he wasn't coming back. B&W photos, maps, and line drwings illustrate. Fascinating reading. An overlooked classic.
