| Summary | "Across Unknown South America" by A. Henry Savage-Landor is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's adventurous journey through the uncharted areas of Brazil, detailing his encounters and observations of the land's geography, native tribes, and natural wealth. It aims to illuminate the lesser-known aspects of South America, particularly highlighting Brazil's immense resources and the misconceptions surrounding its interior. The opening of the book establishes the author's ambitious plans for a transcontinental journey, dismissing prevalent fears of danger and difficulty associated with traveling in Brazil's interior. He highlights the lack of reliable European companions for the expedition, ultimately assuming the roles of multiple specialists himself, from cartographer to botanist. The preface expresses his conviction that South America is poised for future development and that misconceptions about the land and its inhabitants have hindered exploration and colonization. The initial chapters introduce the landscape, showcasing Brazil’s size, wealth of minerals, and potential for agricultural prosperity, setting the stage for the ensuing expedition filled with challenges and discoveries.
