10: Gottschalk
' Life in the tropics in the midst of a halfcivilised and voluptuous race, cannot be that of a London Cockney, a Parisian idler, or an American Presbyterian. I can well understand why the demi-savages of the Savanna, prefer their own poetic barbarism to our barbarous progress.' with Greg Hicks as Gottschalk
