The Treasures of the Incas: A Story of Adventure in Peru (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781484146569)

Harry and Bertie Pendergast are two young brothers eager for adventure and keen to make their way in the world. Harry convinces his brother to go with him to the remote country of Peru in an effort to find a fortune. Ultimately, it is not money, but the heart of the lovely Hilda that Harry seeks. Harry has two years to prove to Hilda's father that he has the means to care for her. Once in Peru, the brothers team up with a native guide and muleteer, Dias and his wife Donna Maria. The small group encounters fierce tribes and bandits in their quest for riches. Will the brothers survive the trials of Peru? Will Harry earn the permission of Hilda's father to marry his love? These and other questions will be answered in The Treasure of the Incas: A Story of Adventure in Peru by G. A. Henty. Set in the nineteenth century in Peru and England, The Treasure of the Incas includes more than 40 geographical, historical, and explanatory footnotes to aid the modern reader.
