| Summary | "In the Wilds of South America" by Leo E. Miller is a scientific exploration narrative written in the early 20th century. The work recounts six years of field exploration in various South American countries, emphasizing the rich biodiversity and unique experiences of a naturalist in the region. The focus of the book is on Miller's adventures as a field-naturalist, detailing encounters with diverse ecosystems, wildlife, and local cultures throughout Colombia, Venezuela, and other parts of South America. The opening of the narrative introduces the author and his expedition team as they embark on a zoological journey from Panama to Buenaventura, Colombia. The descriptions highlight the challenges of navigation along the treacherous coastlines and the striking beauty of South America’s landscapes. Miller sets the tone for the adventure ahead, vividly portraying the lush jungles, the vibrant wildlife, and the initial experiences in Buenaventura. He establishes the purpose of the expedition: to study and collect birds and mammals while also documenting the flora, fauna, and the cultures encountered along the way, laying the groundwork for the fascinating explorations that follow in the subsequent chapters.
