Aime Tschiffely had been teaching in an English-American school in Argentina for almost a decade when he conceived his astounding plan: to travel from Buenos Aires to New York--10,000 miles--on horseback. In April 1925, Tschiffely set out with two native Argentine horses, Mancho and Gato, and with rugged determination, the trio traversed the Pampas, scaled the Bolivian Andes, struggled through Peruvian sands, swam the crocodile-infested rivers of Columbia, and fought their way through the jungles of Panama. They crossed Central America through countries devastated by years of war to finally reach Washington D.C., followed by a reception in New York. The three had been together, exclusively, for more than two years; during that time, Tschiffely developed a remarkable relationship with his horses--an affinity that has seldom been equaled. This colorful account is a true classic of travel literature and perhaps one of the greatest animal stories ever written.

SOUTHERN CROSS TO POLE STAR is an enduring adventure story of one of history's greatest rides. Aime Felix Tschiffely, a young Swiss living in Argentina, in the early 1990s, took two aging Creole horses on a 10,000-mile, 30-month journey over the Andes, through the wilds of Bolivia, across the Isthmus of Panama and on to Washington, D.C. Undetered by tropical fever, quicksand and bandits, Tschiffely realized a lifelong dream, and wrote classics of travel, history, romance and geography. "It is pretty certain that Ulysses, Marco Polo or Drake would have been hard put to keep up with Tschiffely. This is an heroic book." (The New York Times)
