Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Dark Trails Adventures of a Naturalist' is a compelling first-hand account of the life and travels of George K. Cherrie, one of the most prolific American naturalists and explorers of the early 20th century. This memoir details Cherrie's extensive expeditions through the uncharted wilderness of South and Central America, where he braved perilous environments to collect thousands of specimens for major scientific institutions. The narrative captures the essence of early scientific exploration, offering vivid descriptions of the diverse flora and fauna encountered in the deep jungles of the Orinoco and the Amazon. Cherrie famously accompanied Theodore Roosevelt on the harrowing Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Expedition, and his reflections provide a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of such monumental journeys. Readers will find a rich tapestry of adventure, scientific discovery, and survival against the odds. As a historical record of biological exploration, 'Dark Trails Adventures of a Naturalist' remains a significant work for those interested in natural history, travelogues, and the era of great expeditions. Cherrie's observations on both the natural world and the indigenous cultures he encountered provide a valuable window into a rapidly changing global landscape.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Tall 8vo. xvi, 322 pp. Photo frontisp., 57 photo illustrations, 1 large folding map. Blue publisher's cloth, red lettering front cover & spine, colour-illustrated endpapers (minor shelfwear, rubbing), w/ Art Deco cover art (minor chipping head & foot of spine, minor closed tears, creasing, some minor scuffing), still a VG/VG- copy, inscribed by the author on verso of frontisp., to Aubrey Waller Cook (1875-1958), President of the Waggoner Paint Co. in Kansas City, MO at the time. First edition, stated & inscribed by the author, of this exceedingly rare memoir by the famed naturalist and ornithologist, quick, and considered by President Teddy Roosevelt to have been an "efficient and fearless man." Many of his expeditions extended through Central and South America, as he survived a near-arrest in Peru after being shot in the leg, and later survived a shoot-out with one of his disgruntled assistants who shot him in the arm with a shotgun, while he was killing the man. After a desperate 90-mile trek to get the injured and delirious Cherrie onto a steamboat, he was finally paddled to a hospital while the police hung around to arrest him should he recover. He's perhaps best remembered for his role in Roosevelt's famous 1913-1914 "River of Doubt Expedition," when after his loss in the 1912 presidential election, Roosevelt struck out on the Roosevelt-Rondon Expedition to map the mysterious Rio da Duvida Amazon River tributary. Several participants were struck down by tropical diseases, Roosevelt and Rondon downsized the party to 22 men including Roosevelt, his son Kermit, and George Cherrie. Within weeks, Roosevelt was stricken with fever and infection, constantly demanding to be left behind, and Kermit and Cherrie refused to do so, even though every night he would say "he can't possibly live until morning." Very scarce in original dustjacket. See: George Kruck Cherrie (1865-1948), Chicago Natural History Museum Bulletin, p. 6; Theodore Roosevelt, Through the Brazilian Wilderness (19140).…
