The Lost City of Z, by David Grann

This is a story of a true adventurer who felt that there really was an El Dorado out there.. in the deepest part of the Amazon jungle. He followed his belief into the jungle, deeper and deeper and encountering tribes who used arrows, spears, and clubs to convince outsiders to see things their way. As he blazed his trail, smoke from his campfires was seen rising in the sky each evening as he bedded down for the night. Then one night there was no smoke at all. He was never seen again. Now, David Grann has written the story. Brad Pitt has purchased the film rights and will be starring in the film himself. I am going to buy the book tomorrow and read it. I can hardly wait to find out all about what happened to the great adventurer, Percy Harrison Fawcett.
