[ Muir / The Condor's Feather ]
By Margaret Muir.
Blurb: "An exciting equestrian adventure across the inhospitable Pampas of Patagonia in 1885. With a motley group of companions composed of aristocrats, servants and her faithful Newfoundland dogs, Cynthia Beresford sets off for the tail end of the world. On the steamer, sailing from Liverpool, she meets a mysterious Welshman, Euan Davies, who agrees to ride with her. But this independent English Lady is unaware of his sinister motives and that the path he is following is leading her directly into danger. Pampas winds, wild horses, pumas and escaped convicts wreak havoc on this equestrian expedition, and not everyone will survive the journey and return to England."
