In the 1980s, conflicts between the Miskito people of Nicaragua's eastern coast and the Sandinistas drew international attention. Indeed, the Miskitos' struggle to defend their cultural autonomy and land rights points out a curious historical anomaly. This native group has long had closer ties to British and American culture than to Hispanic Nicaraguan culture. C. Napier Bell, son of a British trader, grew up on the Miskito Coast in the nineteenth century and spoke the Miskito language fluently. Tangweera, first published in 1899, is Bell's autobiographical account of his boyhood experiences. Rich in ethnographic detail, the book records an idyllic life of hunting, fishing, and trading. Bell describes the social customs and beliefs of the various Indian peoples he knew, as well as the relations among the coastal Miskito, the black creole population, and the tribes of the interior—the latter a subject of continuing importance. Although Bell shared common nineteenth-century ideas about the inferiority of “savage” races, his affection for the Miskito people and his love of their land fill Tangweera. Anthropologists, historians, naturalists, and travelers in the region will find this fascinating reading. The introduction by Philip A. Dennis, Professor of Anthropology at Texas Tech University, provides a modern observer's view of Miskito culture and discusses important changes and continuities since Bell's time.

"Tangweera: Life and Adventures Among Gentle Savages" by C. Napier Bell is a captivating memoir that transports readers to the remote regions of the Mosquito Coast, where the author spent his formative years living among the indigenous Miskito people. First published in 1899, this book offers a vivid and engaging account of Bell's experiences and observations during his time in what is now eastern Nicaragua and Honduras. C. Napier Bell, a British engineer and adventurer, provides a detailed and affectionate portrayal of the Miskito people, whom he refers to as "gentle savages." His narrative is filled with rich descriptions of their customs, traditions, and daily life, capturing the essence of a culture largely untouched by Western civilization at the time. Bell's writing is infused with a sense of wonder and respect for the Miskito, highlighting their skills in hunting, fishing, and navigating the dense tropical forests and waterways. The memoir begins with Bell's arrival on the Mosquito Coast and his gradual immersion into the local community. Through a series of anecdotes and personal reflections, he recounts his adventures and misadventures, from learning to spear fish and hunt with blowguns to participating in traditional ceremonies and exploring the lush, untamed landscape. Bell's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the beauty and challenges of the natural environment make for a compelling read. "Tangweera: Life and Adventures Among Gentle Savages" is an enthralling and informative read that offers a unique glimpse into a world that was, at the time, largely unknown to the outside world. C. Napier Bell's engaging storytelling and thoughtful observations provide readers with an intimate understanding of the Miskito people and their vibrant culture, making this book a timeless classic in the literature of exploration and anthropology.
