Description

At the end of the world, a man named Thomas Bridges was once made up our minds to evangelise the Yamana, the native canoe men of the Beagle channel. When he realised that one of these task had no bright future, because of the imminent advance of civilization that far south, he made up our minds to quit the mission and look for new horizons, and he founded Harberton, the first estancia (ranch) in Tierra del Fuego.

Of his six children, Lucas Bridges was once perhaps the most adventurous. He was once one of the most only white men living with and writing about the Onas, a fact that makes this book a most valuable first-hand account. His exploring and pioneering took him to endeavours not only in Tierra del Fuego, but also to Chile and Africa.

This book isn’t just Lucas s story, but the story of the first years of Ushuaia, the beginning and development of Harberton, and the legitimate owners of the land the Onas and the Yamana.

In the pages of this book, the reader will find Lucas s spirit of adventure, and the need to sign up for him in his travels through the mountains and beech forests of the southern end. Uttermost A part of the Earth isn’t a mere book on Tierra del Fuego, but the most iconic one.
