Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Morgan Expeditions, '70-'71
The upper town of monte-alegre is composed of some fifty, for the most part shabby, tumble-down houses and vendas, together with a handsome new church and a curious, little, old, barn-like chapel, surrounding an immense, shadeless, sandy, Sahara of a square. The inhabitants are principally of Indian descent, but among the white families there are a few of education and refinement. The town has been ruined by the rubber trade, and is fast going to decay. The people are chiefly engaged in grazing, fishing and trade. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
