Hunting for Gold
No Customer Reviews
It is about my travels and experiences in a few gold mining districts in Guyana, selling consumer goods to miners (land miners and river miners), Shop-keepers, prostitutes, indigenous peoples, and eventually working for gold. I first visited a town, known as Bartica, the gateway to the mining districts . I took some consumer articles with me, to sell and defray my travelling expenses . There, at the town, I met new friends, who advised me to sell these commodities in the mining districts . I seized the challenge and immediately ventured to some of these areas . One year later, I returned to some of these areas to sell to miners, and did this on a regular basis for approximately one year. Twice during that year (1987), I stopped selling and engaged in routine working for gold, being allured to the activity by the apparent large gains to be obtained . All the experiences gained during those travels are narrated in this monograph .
