A Failed 1930s American Town, Lost in Time in the Amazon Rainforest

quote [ Typical American houses and mid-western streets sprang up as fast as the jungle could be stripped and cleared. Fordlândia– foreign outpost for one of the world’s largest and most profitable companies, dream of an American business magnate, and one of the worst ideas Henry Ford ever had. ]

Places dense and warm and wet.
