Download or read book The Orchid and the Emerald written by Timothy David Mack and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Gunn wants nothing more than a quiet life. After returning home from the Napoleonic wars, he accepts a position on the Duke of Devonshire’s idyllic estate. Destiny, however, intervenes when his young daughter Sarah falls prey to a mysterious sickness, and Gunn must strike out once more into the unknown and search for an unusual cure—the black orchid, a plant found only in the forbidding Amazon rainforest, where the last man who saw it went insane. Across the Atlantic, American frontiersman Nathanial Yankee has left his country and his past behind to join a new revolution, fought by General Simón Bolívar to free South America from the Spanish. Nate, however, is no hero—he fights for land, and a chance at a fresh start. Pursued by a cruel enemy in a race against time, William and Nate must survive the battlefields of the Spanish Main, cross the snow-covered peaks of the Andes, and finally reckon with the rulers of a dying Amazonian empire. For one man, the goal is a chance to save his daughter’s life; for the other, a priceless treasure beckons. If they cannot learn to work together, one of a thousand enemies will kill them (that is, if they don’t kill each other first). Unbeknownst to them, both men are pawns in a far larger game, and some secrets cannot be hidden forever ...

Download or read book Travels and Adventures of an Orchid Hunter written by Albert Millican and published by . This book was released on 2022-12-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1887 and 1891, Albert Millican made five trips to the orchid-rich areas of South America, concentrating on the Northern Andes. It was a time of orchid mania when a rare specimen could fetch around $25,000 in today's money. Prospectors shipped millions of orchid bulbs to Europe knowing less than one percent would survive the journey. The reasons for this sudden interest in orchids have several overlapping explanations: the ascension of the modern greenhouse; Darwin's work on the coevolution of insects and orchids; and a broader Victorian fascination with curios collected from around the world. In Millican's book we get a first-hand look at what it took to locate, identify, and transplant these ephemeral beauties from the slopes of the Andes to a nation halfway across the globe.
