Summary "Through Forest and Stream: The Quest of the Quetzal" by George Manville Fenn is a fictional adventure novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story follows young Nat and his uncle, Dr. Dick, as they embark on a daring expedition in the jungles of South America to collect specimens, particularly the stunning quetzal bird, known for its vibrant plumage and long tail. As they traverse through the wilderness, they face various challenges that test their resourcefulness and courage. At the start of the narrative, the characters find themselves aboard a steamer, with Nat's uncle preparing for their excursion into the wild. The captain expresses concern about the dangers they might encounter, including harsh weather and potential confrontations with indigenous peoples. As the story progresses, they are dropped off to begin their expedition, and they quickly encounter a variety of troubles, including a tumultuous interaction with the ship's crew and the challenges of navigating the tangled jungle landscape. Their adventure intensifies with encounters involving threats from both animals and the elements, showcasing Fenn's characteristic blend of peril, humor, and the spirit of discovery.
