Description
Excerpt from Narrative of a Journey From Lima to Para Across the Andes and Down the Amazon: Undertaken With a View of Ascertaining the Practicability of a Navigable Communication With the Atlantic, by the Rivers Pachitea, Ucayali, and Amazon
The greatest impediment in navigating this river is, that both banks are inhabited by savages of the Cashibo nation, who are cannibals, and who subsist on human ?esh: they are not in amity with any other nation. But it would be easy to remove this impediment, and render this important river serviceable to the export of the produce of these countries.
