Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. John Hemming's experience on the Iriri River expedition led to a heightened interest in Brazilian indigenous peoples. On various expeditions he visited 45 tribes throughout Brazil – four of them (Surui, Parakana, Asurini and Galera Nambikwara) at the time that Brazilian teams made the first-ever face-to-face contact. Over the following 26 years he completed a three-volume history of the indigenous peoples and exploration of Brazilian Amazonia: Red Gold (1978), which covers the period 1500–1760; Amazon Frontier (1985), covering the period 1760–1910; and Die If You Must (2004), which describes their changes during the 20th century. The three volumes add up to over 2,100 pages. Condition: Corners bumped. Jacket spine sunned, spine ends rubbed else very good in like jacket.
