Hi!
Any one know a useful source of information on 19th cent. gold mining in
Peru or thereabouts? John Calvert, the Victorian gold miner (etc.), claims
to worked a mine in the "upper reaches of the Amazon" sometime before 1850.
He's vague about the location byt "Caldas Pontes" and "Los Angelos" are
mentioned in passing in some sources. Any ideas?
cheers
Michael
