Our Search for a Wilderness, An Account of Two Ornithological Expeditions to Venezuela and British Guiana William Beebe (1877 - 1962) and Blair Niles (1880 - 1959)
In 1908-1909, Mary Blair Beebe and her husband, C. William Beebe made two private expeditions to Venezuela and British Guiana, exploring and collecting live birds for the New York Zoological Park. They then collaborated on a book about their "search for a wilderness," with Mary Blair doing the bulk of the writing. The Beebe's supplemented tropical birding with visits to gold mines in British Guiana and a lake of pitch, which was being mined in the middle of the Venezuelan jungle.
