Lewis Cotlow, a New York insurance broker, has travelled all over the world, bringing to his experiences the curiosity of an intelligent layman rather than an anthropologist or naturalist.
During three expeditions to the headwaters of the Amazon, Lewis Cotlow lived and made friends with the primitive tribes of Ecuador and Peru. But his main goal was the Jivaro head-hunters, and in this thrilling account of his journeys and adventures, he describes their costumes, their homes, their food, jokes, dances, ceremonials and their history.
He treated these primitive people as fellow human beings, won their respect, and as a result was able to see and photograph rituals probably never recorded before.
This book appears to be in beautiful vintage condition, with very minor damages. The words appear to be crisp and very clear to read!
A perfect gift for that special someone!
