Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Esteban Lucas Bridges (December 31, 1874, Ushuaia April 4, 1949, Buenos Aires) was an Anglo-Argentine author and explorer. He was the third child and second son of Anglican missionary Reverend Thomas Bridges (1842 98) and "the third white native of Ushuaia" (his elder brother, born in 1872, having been the first) at the southernmost tip of South America. Ushuaia was known as Ooshooia in the indigenous Yaghan language.His acclaimed book Uttermost Part of the Earth (1948), published one year before his death, is a chronicle that covers nearly a century of the history of his family, who came as missionary settlers to Tierra del Fuego in 1871, although his father had visited, and lived on Keppel Island in the Falkland Islands and Tierra del Fuego intermittently since 1856. This literary classic tells a story of the clash of three civilisations: the white men, the Yaghan (Yahgashaga in Yaghan) and the Ona (Shilknum in the Ona language). Having grown up among the indigenous tribes of the island, Lucas Bridges learned the language and customs of both tribes.
