The Naturalist on the River Amazons
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textHenry Walter Bates spent eleven years on the Amazon and sent home more than fourteen thousand species, eight thousand of them new to science. He had set out with Alfred Russel Wallace, and Darwin called this the best book of natural history travels ever published in England. It is just as good on the people he lived among and the river towns.
