Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative of a Visit to Indian Tribes of the Purus River, Brazil It seems probable that no Wild tribe now lives on the Lower Amazon or its navigable branches. The ancient inhabitants have in most cases entirely disappeared, leaving nothing but their graves, kitchen mid dens, and old village sites buried in the forest, and the names of their tribes and ancient territories preserved in the histories of the country and in local names. Most of these tribes have without doubt become extinct, though a few individuals may have merged with the hardier Tapuios (tapuyan family), the civilized and Christian Indians of the Amazon. Great tracts of the country are entirely without human inhabitants, as the latter generally live in small villages and scattered cabins along the navigable streams only.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Thousand Miles in a Dug-Out: Being the Narrative of a Journey of Investigation Among the Red-Skin Indians of Central Brazil This little book needs no commendation to those whose sympathy is already awakened in the Missionary operations of the Church of Christ. It is the record of a prospecting journey undertaken by Mr. Glass, of the South American Evangelical Mission, on the river Araguaya, in the heart of Brazil, and forms a narrative of thrilling interest. Mr. Glass object in this hazardous travel was to discover the possibilities of Gospel work amongst the entirely neglected Caraja Indians, and the whole record forms a strong case for the immediate establishment of a forward movement to reach them with the Truth in this, the day of so manifest opportunity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traditionary Stories: Extant Among the Tapoia Indians Inhabiting the Valley of the Middle Amazon in Northern Brazil These fables as here submitted are literal reproductions of traditions communicated with great fidelity through many generations of the natives of Brazil. Mr. Rand in his botanical researches in the Valley of the Amazon was necessarily brought into intimate relations with these tribes, and being frequently entertained at different points with the narrations of these fables, was so struck with the remarkable similarity of the language of each narrator, that he determined to reproduce it verbatim. He has kindly presented us with a translation of his notes and the fables are now for the first time committed to type, in the hope and belief that they may prove interesting from their very naivete.

It was on the last day of August, 1850, at about two o'clock on a fine bright afternoon, that I bade adieu to Barra, looking forward with hope and expectation to the distant and littleknown regions I was now going to visit. I found our canoe a tolerably roomy one, it being about thirty-five feet long and seven broad. The after-part had a rough deck, made of split palm-stems, covered with a tolda, or semicircular roof, high enough to sit up comfortably within it, and well thatched with palm-leaves. A part of the front opening was stopped up on each side, leaving a doorway about three feet wide. The forepart was covered with a similar tolda, but much lower, and above it was a fiat deck, formed like the other, and supported by upright poles along the sides. This is called the jangada, or raft, and serves for the Indians to stand on, while rowing with oars formed of paddle-blades fixed to long poles. The canoe was well loaded with all the articles most desired by the semi-civilised and savage inhabitants of the Upper Rio Negro. There were bales of coarse cotton cloth and of the commonest calico, of flimsy but brilliantlycoloured prints, of checked and striped cottons, and of blue or red handkerchiefs.
