Buddy Levy's River of Darkness: The Adventure of Francisco Orellana - Explore the captivating journey of Francisco Orellana in Buddy's book "River of Darkness," a remarkable tale that reads like fantasy fiction but is undeniably true. Join us as we delve into the odyssey of Orellana, which traces the monumental first European voyage across the vast Amazon basin. With limited provisions, Orellana and his men courageously ventured over 1500 miles into uncharted territory, chronicled by Gaspar de Carvajal. Discover the legacy Orellana left in the Amazon basin, including naming the Rio Negra, and his interactions, often tumultuous, with numerous native tribes, including Amazonian women. The richness of details is astounding, too extensive to cover here—so we urge you to get your hands on "River of Darkness."
