Summary: "Up the Amazon and Madeira Rivers, through Bolivia and Peru" by Edward D. Mathews is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This exploration narrative chronicles the author's personal journey through diverse landscapes, detailing the challenges and experiences of navigating the Amazon and Madeira rivers, alongside the cultural observations of the various peoples encountered. The writing aims to provide a practical guide for adventurous travelers seeking new routes across South America. The opening of the memoir begins with Mathews recalling the conditions of his journey from Liverpool to Brazil, focusing specifically on the daunting navigation at the mouth of the Amazon and the bustling city of Pará.

In this initial section, readers gain insights into the early stage of Mathews's expedition, where he expresses a mix of both admiration and caution for the natural beauty and unpredictable nature of the Amazonian waters.
