Talk:Samuel Fritz

First to follow the Tunguragua instead of the Gran Pará (Ucayali) and prove it the real source of the Marañón?
The 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia is the source for a curious statement: "He was also the first to follow the Tunguragua instead of the Gran Pará (Ucayali) and prove it the real source of the Marañon."

Tunguragua is a misspelling of Tungurahua, which is a volcano, not a mountain. I've been unable to determine whether it was the name of a river in 1913.

I'm not sure whether Fritz was searching for the "real source" of the Marañón River or the Amazon River, but each of those articles goes into better detail about their "true sources", and whatever may have been "proven" in 1913 may have since been disproven. Thus, I'm removing this questionable and ambiguous statement from Fritz's biography. – Wbm1058 (talk) 14:59, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
