Description

"Popular account of the Mission geodésique of 1735 and of Isabel Godin's 1769 trek from her native Riobamba to the mouth of the Amazon to rejoin her husband, whom she had not seen in 20 years. An enjoyable read, but marred by inadequate research"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
