Borba Moraes states that this book is, "... of great interest and full of excellent observations about the colonial region and the 'sertao' of Parana. It is certainly one of the best travel books about that part of Brazil." The book is the result of Bigg-Wither's travels in the Ivai valley in surveying a route for the trans-Brazilian railway to join the Atlantic and Pacific ocean. Bosch #557; Borba de Moraes p. 106.
