| 520 | _aRiver of Darkness is the story of Spanish conquistador Francisco Orellana, the first foreigner to navigate the Amazon River in South America. ItÂ’s a remarkable tale, considering that Orellana and his men traversed the 4,200-mile length of the Amazon in 1542, and did so with crude wooden ships, scant supplies and no knowledge of the route, or what lay ahead. | ||
