Sent out at the turn of the century to look for traces of a living giant ground sloth, Hesketh-Prichard rode deep into the Patagonian interior. He describes the long battle with exhausted horses, the river valleys and the windswept plateau, and the manners, customs and hunting methods of the Tehuelche people, with drawings by J. G. Millais.
