In 1846 Edwards, an American naturalist and author of Butterflies of North America headed for the Amazon. He made it back and published one of the first adventures about anacondas, piranhas, electric eels, and army ants--as well as the richness of the jungle and peculiarities of the native societies. This very book inspired Bates and Wallace to go to the Amazon the following year, "to solve the problem of the origin of the species."Edwards, W. H. is the author of 'Voyage Up the River Amazon Including a Residence at Para' with ISBN 9781589762442 and ISBN 1589762444.
