Book excerpt: "It was to this strange land that I was sent by the South American Missionary Society in the year 1890." Wilfred Barbrooke Grubb (1865-1930) was twenty-three years old when he was appointed to Paraguay into the Chaco region "to penetrate into the interior and investigate fully the numbers, location, and attitude of the various tribes." In this volume Grubb gives "an account of the life and customs of the Lengua Indians of the Paraguayan Chaco, with adventures and experiences met with during twenty years' pioneering and exploration amongst them." A vivid image of the Chaco region and its people is given by over sixty illustrations and photographs.
