Our only impedimenta consisted of the knapsack and sleeping gear on our backs so that we were entirely independent; and being able to use our legs and arms and sleep out in the forest we were able to surmount moun tains and penetrate into districts which I think I may say have never been described and it is possible never visited by an European'' before.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
