She writes of her adventurous years; 'I've seen uncharted jungles in Matto Grosso, wind-swe[pt pampas in Patagonia, and the sun rise over snow-capped Cordilleras. I've houseboated on the Paraguay, watched a jaguar hunt in the Chaco, sung hymns to the skirling of a bagpipe to please a madman's whim in Amazonia, walked the Lacondones' poisoned trails, and been sent the Death God in Panama." Interesting as historiography, representative of the attitudes of the era. Includes a collection of recipes,"Grass Hut Cookery."
