- Summary:
- Hassoldt Davis (1907- 1959) was an adventurer and travel writer whose work Ernest Hemingway once described as " fantastic . . . magnificent." With his intrepid new wife, filmmaker Ruth Staudinger, Davis sets off on an improbable honeymoon, first to Devil' s Island, and then down an unexplored river in the interior of French Guiana. The result is a swashbuckling saga that deserves a place on any adventure bookshelf.
