A Short Account Of The Leach Bermejo Expedition

Excerpt from A Short Account of the Leach Bermejo Expedition of 1899: With Some Reference to the Flora, Fauna and Indian Tribes of the Chaco For a long time the Messrs. Leach had considered the possibility of being able to send their produce down the river Bermejo, and thereby save the railway freight for over a thousand miles. Now with regard to the river Bermejo, not very much was known. Several expeditions had navigated portions of its waters: and it is certainthat the Jesuits had reached its banks, when their power was paramount in Central South America. - But its shores are infested with savage, hostile Indians, and the whole district is therefore prohibitive to solitary colonists.
