Sample Book Insights:
#1 Hiram Bingham, an American explorer, was told that ancient Inca ruins were located on a high mountain ridge. He and his assistant climbed up the trail, and within just a few hours, made one of the most spectacular archaeological discoveries in history.
#2 The Incas had a capital city called Vilcabamba, which was located in the eastern part of their empire. It was a rebel kingdom that fought against the Spanish invaders.
#3 Bingham had always been determined to climb social and financial ladders. When he was twelve, he and a friend decided to run away from home. They bought a boat ticket and a new suit of clothes, stuffing everything into a suitcase. They planned to somehow make their way to New York City, find a job as a newsboy, and then go to Africa.
#4 On July 24, 1911, Bingham and his two companions reached a small hut on a ridgetop 2,500 feet above the valley floor. The setting was magnificent: Bingham had a 360 degree view of the adjacent jungle-covered mountain peaks and clouds.
