Excerpt from Reminiscences of South America: From Two and a Half Years' Residence in Venezuela Between the course over which Captain Head ran races against time, and the Republic to which these pages relate, about forty de grees of latitude intervene; the one is almost beneath the equator, the other is in the temperate zone, and they are about as far asunder as England is from the North Pole. Some of the countries in Europe - Italy or Switzerland for instance, might be almost overspread by the leaves of the multitude of books that have been written respecting them; whereas, on the contrary, with regard to South America, I am disposed to think, that all the books of this kind that relate to it, would scarcely serve as: a dejeune for the small colony of insects that established itself in my library when I was residing there.

In the early 1960s, Mac Tschanz helped establish a Department of Geology in Bolivia, high in the South American Andes. Unfazed by political intrigues, his next assignment was in Colombia where he trained geologists while mapping in the lawless Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. During nine years in South America Mac and his wife, Ginny, lived a continuous adventure in exotic surroundings. Their story is recorded in contemporaneous letters, imparting immediacy to an amazing family saga.
