This detailed account documents the explorations, surveys, and cultural observations made in the Amazon Valley and its tributaries by Lieutenant William Lewis Herndon and Lieutenant Lardner Gibbon of the United States Navy. The work focuses on examining the geography, natural resources, indigenous populations, and the potential for navigation and commerce within this vast region. The opening of the publication establishes the context of the expedition by detailing Herndon's orders to explore the Amazon's Valley, which were initiated while he was anchored in Valparaiso, Chile. It recounts his preparations for the journey, including seeking information from local officials, scholars, and maps to strategize a feasible route through the Andes into the Amazon basin. The narrative sets the stage for a complex journey filled with the intricacies of navigation, indigenous interactions, and the historical significance of the land, while highlighting the researchers' reliance on previous explorers’ accounts and local knowledge to enhance their understanding of the territory they are about to traverse.
