The Butterfly Hunters is a book written by Helen Stevens Conant and published in 1868. The book is a memoir of the author's travels with her husband, James Conant, as they explore the Amazon rainforest in search of exotic butterflies. The couple traveled by boat, horseback, and on foot, encountering dangerous animals and challenging terrain along the way. The book recounts their adventures as they collect specimens, navigate the jungle, and interact with the local indigenous people. The author also provides detailed descriptions of the butterflies they encountered and the process of preserving and studying them. The Butterfly Hunters is a fascinating account of a bygone era of scientific exploration and discovery, and offers a unique perspective on the natural world and the people who inhabit it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
