He had gone away from camp in hopes of shooting fowl when he was confronted with what he describes as a small tiger.Advertisement states that the author wished his name to be concealed, because he was critical of the people and government of Venezuela. His journey "in support of the South American Patriots" began in late 1817.Image placed horizontally on page.
