The Adventurers

The Adventurers is a travel novel by Gustave Aimard. Aimard was the author of numerous books about Latin America and the American frontier. Excerpt: «The sun, in the meantime, was sinking rapidly towards the horizon, the ruddy hues of closing day tinged with their changing reflections the summits of the wooded hills, and a fresh breeze agitated the branches of the trees with mysterious murmurs. In this country, where there is no twilight, night was not long in enveloping me in thick darkness, and that before I had passed through two-thirds of the chaparral.»
