Description
The Uttermost Part of the Earth: The First History of Tierra del Fuego and the Fuegian Indians
This memoir chronicles the author's early life among the coastal Yaghan people and his later initiation into the more remote Ona tribe. Confronted with unfamiliar cultures and traditions, Bridges engages fully, committing himself to learning and participating in the ways of his neighbors, whom he comes to call friends.
The book paints a vivid picture of the stunning scenery and amazing encounters in this isolated region, while also documenting the tragedy of European colonization.
