Excerpt from Tangweera: Life and Adventures Among Gentle Savages This book was written in my old age; but it is a record of my youth, passed among the gentle savages of Central America, amid the gorgeous scenery of the tropics-an ideal life for a boy, and such as not one boy in a million has ever enjoyed. I may be allowed to say for myself that it is not every boy who could enjoy the wild and free life of the bush in the way I did; for it is in my experience that not every boy has such a love of nature, such a reverent awe of the great untrodden forests, or takes such an interest in the birds, beasts, insects and plants, as I did at that time of my life. If I had written this book while I was a boy, it would have been a book for boys; but it will be perceived by readers that it partakes of the nature of both a boy's and a grown man's book, which is due to the way in which it has been written. While I was a boy living in Central America, I incessantly wrote down what I saw and heard, so that when I left the country I had a great mass of notes, memoranda, and sketches. These lay untouched during a busy life of thirty years devoted to my profession of a Civil Engineer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
