Cordillera!: 'The Cordillera Expedition book did not require extended exaggeration or fabrication in order to stir excitement in the telling. In fact, death, drama, acute interest, and interesting people were, at different times, true companions of the expedition. This was apparent when, in the act of writing this manuscript, my memory forced me through many tears and shivers. Now, in the reading of the manuscript, it amazes me how true to spirit this book remains.
However, the Cordillera Expedition was one man's impression. It was mine. There was one man's diary and recordings. They were mine. Had you come along your impressions would, by the differences of each person's being, have been quite different. It is impossible that Bill MacDonald or Brian Wolfe hold the same interpretation of events or feelings as this book portrays. It is impossible that the Sikhanni Indians had the same impression of our entourage as I did. It is impossible to provide the reader with the exact dialogue and the proper gist of each discussion. In essence, this book is absolutely true to my experience but, through the variables of interpretation, I am loathe to call it fact. Fact does as fact is. The Cordillera Expedition book does as the Cordillera Expedition is, but for the different impressions from possible interpretations.'
