notes:
The jangada is described as being a raft made of balsa wood with a lateen sail, a paddle used as a rudder, a sliding keel, and a long forked pole on which are hung provisions for the trip. Koster, an Englishman born in Portugal, rented land in Pernambuco, bought slaves, and became a Brazilian fazendeiro or cattle rancher. Image placed horizontally on page.
