I am presenting this on behalf of a new found family friend, Arthur J. Post, 95 years old. Art wrote an adventure book called "Huck Finning the Amazon".
Art Post is the only living American who possibly was the first to accomplish this:
In 1934, Art Post and 2 other explorers made a continental crossing of South America from the Andean Mountains to the mouth of the Amazon River at Belem du Para on the Atlantic Ocean.
Arthur Post and his two fellow explorers, Edward Kellog Strong III, and Gain Allen John (both now deceased) traveled in canoes with the Machienga Indians of Peru in 1934.

Currently, the Travel Channel is featuring the Machienga Indians in the series " Mark and Olly: Living With the Machienga". Arthur Post, with the help of the Machienga Indians, did this seventy five years earlier and is alive today to tell his story.
Arthur J. Post's story is unbelievable - along the way in his trip, he actually visited our grandparents' ranch in Peru. It was wonderful to meet Art Post, and to read his book.
Art is sharp as a tack, alive and well, and very interested in getting the word out about his book. He is hoping to find a publisher in the United States. His mind is very sharp for someone of his advanced years. Art does not travel out of Mexico anymore due to his age. He has copies of his book and would like to find a new publisher and editor or even a filmmaker who would be interested in creating a documentary about his adventure down the Amazon.
If this project is of interest to you, writers and film makers please email us and we will call Art, he does not have email.
Thank you for anything you can do for this wonderful person.
