Like Lewis and Clark's exploration of the American West, their incredible mission revealed the mysteries of a little-known continent to a world hungry for discovery. Scaling 16,000-foot mountains in the Peruvian Andes, and braving jaguars, pumas, insects, and vampire bats in the jungle, the scientists barely completed their mission. One was murdered, another perished from fever, and a third -- Jean Godin -- nearly died of heartbreak. At the expedition's end, Jean and his Peruvian wife, Isabel Grameson, became stranded at opposite ends of the Amazon, victims of a tangled web of international politics. Isabel's solo journey to reunite with Jean after their calamitous twenty-year separation was so dramatic that it left all of eighteenth-century Europe spellbound. Her survival -- unprecedented in the annals of Amazon exploration -- was a testament to human endurance, female resourcefulness, and the power of devotion."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Godin des Odonais, Isabelle de Grandmaison, $d 1728?- $x Travel $z Amazon River Region. 600 10 $a Godin des Odonais, Jean, $d 1713-1792. 610 20 $a Mission geodesique (France) 650 0 $a Scientific expeditions $z Ecuador $x History $y 18th century. 651 0 $a Amazon River Region $x Description and travel. 651 0 $a Ecuador $v Biography. 651 0 $a France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Martin, Eric, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Tantor Media. 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio. 710 2 $a Findaway World, LLC. 941 $a 1 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012031246.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6D4CF47E68C511EE82CCA71150ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
