The Devil-Tree of El Dorado

Lost race novel concerning the discovery of the legendary city of Manoa and a carnivorous tree on the summit of Mt. Roraima.

Shall Roraima be handed over to Venezuela? Shall the mysterious mountain long known to scientists as foremost among the wonders of our earth—regarded by many as the greatest marvel of the world—become definitely Venezuelan territory?


This is the question that hangs in the balance at the time these words are being written, that is inseparably associated—though many of the public know it not—with the dispute that has arisen about the boundaries of British Guiana.
