  III. A Jaguar-Hunt on the Taquary. Roosevelt, Theodore. 1914. Through the Brazilian Wilderness   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It was Fiala who had assembled our food-tents, cooking-utensils, and supplies of all kinds, and he and Sigg, during their stay in Corumb&á, had been putting everything in shape for our start.
Colonel Rondon at the end of his inspection said he had nothing whatever to suggest; that it was extraordinary that Fiala, without personal knowledge of the tropics, could have gathered the things most necessary, with the minimum of bulk and maximum of usefulness.
The last few miles, after the final reaches of higher, tree-clad ground had been passed, were across a level plain of low ground on which the water stood, sometimes only up to the ankles of a man on foot, sometimes as high as his waist.

Only three weeks previously a twelve-year-old boy who had gone in swimming near Corumb&á was attacked, and literally devoured alive by them.
  Corumb&á is on a steep hillside, with wide, roughly paved streets, some of them lined with beautiful trees that bear scarlet flowers, and with well-built houses, most of them of one story, some of two or three stories.
The families showed the mixture of races characteristic of Brazil; one mother, after the children had been photographed in their ordiary costume, begged that we return and take them in their Sunday clothes, which was accordingly done.

I eagerly and gladly accepted, for I felt that with such help the trip could be made of much scientific value, and that a substantial addition could be made to the geographical knowledge of one of the least-known parts of South America.
Accordingly, it was arranged that Colonel Rondon and some assistants and scientists should meet me at or below Corumb&á, and that we should attempt the descent of the river, of which they had already come across the headwaters.
From Buenos Aires they went up the Paraguay to Corumb&á, where they awaited me. The two naturalists went first, to do all the collecting that was possible; Fiala and Sigg travelled more leisurely, with the heavy baggage.

 John Adams and the "Christian Consensus"
The Secular Humanists on this board are trying to convince us all that the Founding Fathers were all atheists like Paine.
CorumB> No, just that the Founding Fathers recognized that even atheists were fine Americans.
Let me remind you of the quotes I've posted from Washington and Witherspoon, saying that atheists were "wicked" "infidels" who were "enemies of their country." What Adams is saying is that, Thanks be to God, atheists are not always consistent with their professed autonomy.

From Corumb&á there is a regular service by shallow steamers to Cuyab&á, at the head of one fork, and to São Luis de C&áceres, at the head of the other.
The steamers are not powerful and the voyage to each little city takes a week.

Extract from the Corumb Travel Guides: Far removed from mainstream Brazil, hard by the Bolivian border and 400km west of Campo Grande, the city of Corumb provides a welcome stop after the long ride from either Santa Cruz (in Bolivia) or Campo Grande.
As an entrance to the Pantanal, Corumb has the edge over Cuiab in that it is already there, stuck in the middle of a gigantic swamp, only 119m above sea level.
Its name, in Tupi, means the "place of stones" and, not surprisingly, Corumb and the Pantanal didn't start out as a great source of attraction to travellers.
