This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

(Fulfilling Manuel Córdova’s promise of another story, F. ...)
Fulfilling Manuel Córdova’s promise of another story, F. Bruce Lamb’s Rio Tigre and Beyond recounts an unparalleled Amazonian adventure, completing the life story of Manuel Córdova Rios who at the beginning of the 20th century was abducted by Native American tribals to be trained as their new shaman. Here he remembers the rest of his life, a series of missions and adventures guided by his pre-Columbian training but in the context of the upper Amazonian Peruvian river city of Iquitos, in a world intricately changed by its millennial contact with the imported Columbian civilization.

Wizard of the Upper Amazon is an extraordinary document of the life among a tribe of South American Indians at the beginning of the 20th century. For many readers, the most compelling sections of the book will be the descriptions of the use of Banisteriopsis caapi, the ayahuasca of the Amazon forests. This powerful hallucinogen has long been credited with the ability to transport human beings to realms of experience where telepathy and clairvoyance are commonplace. Manual Córdova, the narrator of these adventures is a well-known as a healer in Peru.

(One of the original members of the Wild Bunch, Kid Curry ...)
One of the original members of the Wild Bunch, Kid Curry (Harvey Logan), became known by the company he kept—men like Butch Cassidy, Harry Longabaugh (Sundance Kid), Elzy Lay, Ben Kilpatrick, Flat Nose George Currie, and other members of the Hole in the Wall Gang. But Kid Curry’s own story is rich and long on irony—the tale of a cowboy outlaw guided by a thief’s sense of honor, a colorful sense of humor, fierce family loyalty, and wild and reckless spirit. Bruce Lamb begins with the framework of the documented historical record and fleshes it out with authentic details and stories Curry told the author’s father and uncles while hiding out at the Lamb ranch in Colorado. The result is a comprehensive, engaging, fictional narrative covering the entire span of Kid Curry’s life.
