Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Grammar and a Vocabulary of the Ipurina Language
They are one of the largest of the thirty-four or more tribes inhabiting the giant river, are warlike among themselves, but both distrustful of, and recoiling from, civilised people. In their habits they are very retiring, and of their own accord do not seek the advantages offered by, nor are they very desirous to have any dealing with, civilisation, evidently feeling far more at home when away from all strangers; for this, however, many of them have good reasons.
