Aime Tschiffely had an unlikely dream: to ride 10, 000 miles from Buenos Aires to New York City. In April 1925 he set out on his epic journey with two native Argentine horses called Mancha & Gato. The trio traversed the Pampas, scaled the Andes & struggled through the crocodile-infested rivers of Colombia & the jungles of Panama. After two harrowing years, the man who had originally been labelled `mad` by the press was accorded a ticker-tape parade when he rode triumphantly through the streets of New York. This handsome new edition of SOUTHERN CROSS TO POLE STAR will introduce a travel-writing classic to a new generation of readers. ...
