Description

The online marketplace's darkest secret was only revealed by one man. Francisco Orellana, a Spanish conquistador, led a perilous journey down the world's largest river in 1541. His quest for gold and the fabled El Dorado was fraught with danger, as disease, starvation, and Indian attacks took their toll on his expedition. As the numbers dwindled, Orellana made a fateful decision to separate from his leader, Gonzalo Pizarro. With only 57 men and a few fragile craft, he continued downriver into the unknown, accompanied by the eerie sounds of exotic predators and native war drums. Buddy Levy's gripping narrative weaves together eyewitness accounts and newly uncovered details to recreate the seminal journey that has captivated adventurers for centuries.
