A fascinating account of the pioneering life of Santiago de Larminat and his family in Patagonia - a remote and extraordinary corner of South America that has become one of the world’s great destinations for fly fishing and wilderness travel. Written by Santiago’s grandson, Miguel de Larminat, this is both a family story and a glimpse into the early history of Patagonia. Through memories, historical photographs, period engravings and beautiful colour artwork, the book evokes the pioneering spirit of a family making its home in a largely untamed country - a world of remote estancias, mountains, rivers and vast open landscapes, providing fascinating context for the Patagonia that adventurous travellers and fly fishermen know today. A lovely book for anyone fascinated by Patagonia, exploration, and the wild landscapes that continue to draw anglers from around the world. B&W photographs and full-colour artwork throughout. Very good condition. Softcover, 24cm x 16.5cm, 257 pages.
