Explore "Guide of the Desert" by Gustave Aimard on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
On the 25th of June, 1790, about seven o'clock in the evening, a rather numerous troop of horsemen suddenly emerged from a narrow ravine, and began to ascend a steep path on the flank of a mountain forming the extreme limit of the Sierra di Ibetucata, situated in the province of Sao Paolo.
These horsemen, having traversed the Rio Paranapanema, prepared no doubt to cross the Rio Tiete, if, as the direction which they followed appeared to indicate, they were going to the territory of Minas Gerais.
