Book Description
A WWI veteran seized with "wanderlust," Foster sought adventure in tropical South America in the 1920s. Working as a miner, reporter, war correspondent, diplomatic attache, guide, companion, and rag-time piano player, he "tramps" his way through Peru and the Andes, and continues on a perilous canoe expedition down uncharted headwaters to the Amazon.
From the Publisher
Foster has been described as perhaps the most "lost" of the Lost Generation, and in the wake of WWI, he chronicled his exploration of the back-alley bistros and backwater villages of South America in the 1920s. This book is a fit beginning for an adventurer whose courage and daring was always much larger than his pocketbook, and his take on the often insane world around him is infused with humor, not condescension. A great read for those who would like to escape to a chimerical world in a simpler time.
