From the Back Cover This masterpiece of scientific reportage and travel storytelling, first published in 1874, is a captivating narrative of the journeys of mining engineer Thomas Belt through the tropical rivers, valleys, forests, and lakes of Nicaragua. Replete with vivid descriptions of the animals and plants he encountered and full of ruminations on the geology of the region that were dismissed as fanciful at the time but have since been vindicated as true, this is "the best of all natural history journals which have ever been published," according to no less an authority than Charles Darwin.
About the Author Thomas Belt (1832-1878) was an English mining engineer and naturalist. He traveled widely, publishing papers on his observations, and worked for several years in Australia, in Nicaragua, and in Colorado.

By Reverend Mike This book should be required reading in school, the historical perspective, info on nature, and Belts perspective on anthropology are priceless and disturbing. A cross between a travel book and biology class, under extreme conditions with 4 legged transportation. It makes me appreciate how difficult it was to travel, back in the day, in a tropical country. The author was working for a mining company and travelled extensively. Belt does an excellent job of describing what he experienced. Some things are little changed up to the present day, horses and mules are still pulling wagons with wooden wheels, now competing for room on the roads with modern 4x4's. Nicaragua has lost much of what Belt describes but is still a beautiful country. Read the book, then go visit before the population destroys the rest....

Thomas Belt lived in Nicargua for 4 years during the last century and his travel with in the country descrived the way the tropics used to be 100 years ago. Since he wrote the book, 98% of the low land tropical dry forest have been deforested.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting By K. Coates It is interesting, but sometimes Mr. Belt could tighten up his writing style. Some of the information on the mines, etc. was interesting (he worked at the mines), but I was more interested in the plants and animals of Nicaragua. However, a person interested in mining history may find it more interesting than I did.
