The Voice of Wild Places is a book that was three years in the making, and required research that spanned books, websites, articles, video footage, and other paraphernalia.
These are the books I read while researching, and highly recommend for further information on exploration during the late 19th century and early 20th century.
- The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon by David Grann.
- Exploration Fawcett by Percy Harrison Fawcett.
- Into the Amazon: The Life of Cândido Rondon, Trailblazing Explorer, Scientist, Statesman, and Conservationist by Larry Rohter.
- The Looking-Glass: Essential Stories by Machado de Assis.
The effects of the residential schools indigenous peoples were forced into in Canada and America are still prevalent today, and I highly recommend educating yourself on the history of these schools. The following reads are a good start.
- Education for Extinction: American Indians and the Boarding School Experience, 1875-1928 by David Wallace Adams.
- Unsettling Truths: The Ongoing, Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery by Mark Charles & Soong-Chan Rah.
- Stealing Little Moon: The Legacy of the American Indian Boarding Schools by Dan Sasuweh Jones.
- Medicine River: A Story of Survival and the Legacy of Indian Boarding Schools by Mary Annette Pember.
And now, the laundry list of links. These are mostly research articles, old photographs, biographical and geographical information. I’ve done my best to organize it, but it’s still quite … chaotic.
