Summary
The Adventures of a Tropical Tramp, first published in 1922, is the first of several travel narratives by Harry La Tourette Foster (1894-1932), a World War One veteran who, seized by wanderlust, would spend much of his adult life traveling and working first in South America (the subject of this book), and later in Asia, the South Pacific, and the Caribbean. While in South America, Foster recounts his experiences as a miner, reporter, war correspondent, diplomatic attaché, guide, companion, and piano player, ending with an extended voyage down the Amazon and its tributaries. His writing vividly - and often humorously - portrays the people he met, the local culture, and his desire for new adventures. Included are 4 pages of photographs
