The Panama Hat Trail

The Panama Hat Trail

Author(s): Tom Miller

Location(s): Amazon Rainforest, Ecuador, United States (USA)

Genre(s): Travelogue

Era(s): Modern

Critically acclaimed author Tom Miller reveals the making and marketing of one Panama hat, from the straw fields of Ecuador’s coastal lowland to a hat shop in Southern California.

Along the way, the hat becomes a literary device allowing Miller to give us his impressions from the tributaries of the Amazon to the mountainsides of the Andes. The Panama Hat Trail is at once a study in global economics and a lively travelogue.
