Exploration Fawcett

Journey to the Lost City of Z

About this book

This collection of the explorer's own writings presents a "tale of great adventure . . . a stirring and sensitive record, well written by a true explorer" ( The New York Times).
In 1925, the legendary British explorer Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett disappeared in the unexplored territory of Brazil's Mato Grosso. For ten years he had wandered the forests and death-filled rivers in search of a fabled "lost" city. Finally, convinced that he had discovered the location, he set out for the last time with two companions, one of whom was his eldest son, to destination "Z," never to be heard from again.
While Fawcett's story was made famous by the book and feature film The Lost City of Z, this thrilling account of his adventures is told in his own riveting words. Exploration Fawcett was compiled by his younger son from the explorer's manuscripts, letters, and logbooks. What happened to him after remains a mystery.
