The Putumayo, the Devil's Paradise (Illustrated)
This account of Hardenburg's journeys through the Putumayo region of South America is complete with the original photographs, maps and illustrations of the people and places described. Walter Hardenburg undertook his travels through the intense wilderness to contact the natives living in the dense forests of South America at the beginning of the 20th century.

The Latin Americans, even those who committed the most appalling deeds, are such people as would under ordinary circumstances receive the trave...

PUTUMAYO THE DEVILS PARADISE
The occurrences in the Amazon Valley which, under the name of the Putumayo[2] Rubber Atrocities of Peru, have startled the public mind and aroused widespread horror and indignation-atrocities worse than those of the Congo-cannot be regarded merely as an isolated phenomenon. Such incidents are the extreme manifestation of a condition which expresses itself in different forms all over the world-the condition of acute and selfish commercialism or industrialism whose exponents, in enriching themselves, deny a just proportion of the fruits of the earth and of their toil to the labourers who produce the wealth.
