Synopsis "Stories of the Red Soil Immigrants"

Many countries' economies were so shattered after WWI that many citizens felt impelled to seek new lives elsewhere. This book is about eight European immigrant families who traveled up the Paraná River from Buenos Aires, Argentina to the red soil region of Misiones - the home of the Guaraní people, the local Indian tribe. The possibility of being able to purchase 35 hectares of land motivated immigrants to make this long and exhausting trip upriver. They knew that their decision to settle in the Argentinian jungle would mean that they would be facing unknown perils in a region inhabited by Indians who practiced a culture radically different from their own. They knew they would be living in a jungle region inhabited by jaguars, snakes, spiders, and other unknown species. Discover the odyssey of these immigrant families as they began establishing themselves in new colonies along the Paraná River.
